SUMMARY:Scientifica 2026
DESCRIPTION:Understanding and Treating Diseases with RNA\n\n\n\n📅 29–3
 0 August 2026 | 🕚 11:00–17:00 | 📍 ETH Zurich\, Polyterrasse\nRNA pl
 ays a central role in understanding diseases and finding new treatments. On
 e example is spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)\, a neurodegenerative disease ca
 used by incorrect RNA processing in nerve cells. It can be treated with a m
 edicine that consists of a small RNA molecule.\nAt the booth of the Swiss I
 nitiative for RNA & Disease (SIRD)\, you can experience nanopore sequencing
  in real time and learn how RNA splicing works by assembling pre-mRNA into 
 its final form.\nYou can also test your scientific thinking by arranging re
 search questions\, approaches\, results and new hypotheses in a logical ord
 er.\nCome and discover the important role of RNA in biology\, disease resea
 rch and therapy!\n🔗Further Information: SIRD Scientifica Booth Infos\n\n
