RNA Biology Lecture Series
The aim of these lectures is to provide a comprehensive educational offering in the field of RNA Biology for MSc and PhD students. The NCCR RNA & Disease offers the unique chance to have lectures taught by leading experts in the field from five Swiss research institutions covering a wide range of aspects of RNA biology.
The lectures take place in the autumn semester and will alternate each year between the University of Bern and ETH Zurich.
Lecture Series I: Transcription & Processing & Translation (Autumn Semester 2020: ETH Zurich)
Thursdays, 15:45-17:30 via Zoom
Due to the new Covid-19 rules at ETHZ, the lecture will take place from now on via Zoom. Registered students can access the Zoom link via the course's Moodle page.
