About Us
Our vision is to build a synergic community and empower collaborations between RNA researchers to help streamline the discovery of novel, individualized disease targets; and establish a system of in-house RNA production that would enable U-M investigators to produce and screen therapeutics rapidly and cost-effectively.
What is RNA?
What is RNA’s role in the cell and in diseases?
Publications
We are pleased to announce the publication of our third annual magazine and report, RNA Translated. The 2025 issue focuses on the vital role of cross-disciplinary collaboration, bringing together foundational researchers, clinicians and administrators, and supportive centers, institutes and initiatives at the U-M, to unlock mysteries in RNA biology and realize the full potential of RNA therapeutics.
Through exemplary stories of success, we explore breakthroughs ranging from the harnessing of microRNAs in cancer to the role of stress granules in neurodegenerative diseases, single-cell spatial transcriptomics and synergistic small-molecule drug discovery efforts across a range of pathologies.
The last section of the magazine features the main activities of the center for the 2024 calendar year, along with information on how to participate in supporting our mission.
Core Facilities
Annual Symposium
The Center for RNA Biomedicine symposia bring together national leaders of the scientific, medical and engineering communities working on recent advances of our understanding of RNA. It provides means of exchanging new ideas across disciplines, spurring new collaborations nationwide, while supporting a rapidly growing RNA community at the University of Michigan.
RNA Innovation Seminar Series
The center offers bi-weekly RNA Innovation Seminars that feature visiting professors, U of M faculty, and students. The seminars cover a broad array of topics about RNA research and its application. In addition to learning about the latest research in the field, it is an opportunity to meet colleagues, network, and foster collaborations.
