The purpose of the New England RNA Data (NERD) club is to allow dissemination of recent developments in RNA biology and to facilitate interactions between academic and industry laboratories in the field. Topics will cover all aspects of RNA biology including, but not limited to: mechanisms of RNAi, microRNA biogenesis/action, high-throughput siRNA screening, RNA transcription, RNA splicing/export, RNA trafficking and mRNA translational control. The club meets once a month and each session consists of three 20 minute talks (with ~10 minutes for discussion) by faculties, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and/or industry scientists.
