Groups involved in RNA diagnostics and therapy

One of the objectives of EURASNET is in knowledge transfer by interacting with scientists involved in gene therapy strategies and the development of diagnostics in addressing diseases due to splicing or alternative splicing defects. This has been addressed by a number of EURASNET-organised international meetings. Most recently, in March 2008, Diana Baralle organised a meeting, sponsored by EURASNET, of UK diagnostics labs to discuss approaches and application of RNA analysis of alternative splicing. In addition, EURASNET members have an important role as experts on splicing and alternative splicing in advising groups investigating approaches to disease therapy.

We have begun to identify these scientists so they can receive information on EURASNET events and meetings. For example, scientists in the UK are listed below.
