Successful Summer School on RNA & Entrepreneurship

Group Picture of Participants of the 4th NCCR RNA & Disease Summer School

Last week from August 22 - 26, 2022, the 4th NCCR RNA & Disease Summer School took place on "RNA & Entrepreneurship" in Saas-Fee Switzerland. Close to 60 students, speakers and organizers participated in the summer school. Lectures were given on one hand on RNA therapies & diagnostics and on the other hand on aspects related to forming a start-up company. Participants presented their own research projects in the form of chalk talks, and subsequently worked together in teams with speakers & organizers to develop a business idea in the field, which was presented. The feedback received so far by students and speakers was very good. We would like to take all organizers & speakers who contributed to the success of the summer school, as well as our network's sponsors the Swiss National Science Foundation, the University of Bern and ETH Zurich.
