The aim of this one-day workshop is to gather attention on the novel role of RNA as regulator of protein activity and its importance in the control of cellular metabolism. Understanding the molecular details of RNA-protein interactions and the effect on cellular physiology is a key step to exploit the impact of these discoveries to fundamental science and to translational applications in the field of RNA therapeutics
