First International EURASNET Conference on Alternative Splicing

EURASNET, the EU-funded Network of Excellence on Alternative Splicing, hosted a conference on the mechanisms, physiological importance and disease-associations of alternative splicing in Krakow.

The conference featured 17 international invited speakers who are experts in the biochemistry, genomics, cell biology and clinical aspects of alternative splicing. A highlight of the meeting was a keynote lecture by Professor Joan Steitz. In addition, short oral presentations were invited from selected participants based on submitted abstracts.

A Media Workshop was organised during the conference to help participants learn how to interact with the media and communicate their research data to lay people. Read the full report of the workshop here.
