Colorado RNA Club


RNA Club logo

The objective of the Colorado RNA Club is to bring together RNA researchers from across the state to share their research, facilitate new collaborations, and create a robust, connected, RNA-focused community. In addition to the ever popular “Evenings with RNA” co-hosted by the RNA Bioscience Initiative, the Colorado RNA Club has recently expanded its events to include an Undergrad Day and an Industry Workshop for graduate students and post-docs.

HELP US IMPROVE!

Please complete the Colorado RNA Club's annual survey

Thank you for being a part of the Colorado RNA community and for your participation in the RNA Club!

 

In the past couple years, we have implemented changes to the RNA Club – in part due to the pandemic, but mostly based on member feedback. We have added new programming, including dedicated events to expose undergraduate students to RNA research in Colorado and to our graduate programs, as well as an industry information/networking session to connect our trainees to opportunities outside academia. We also started publishing a quarterly newsletter, which needs new volunteers. ​This work would not be possible without enthusiastic volunteers from all campuses who have given their time and effort freely to enrich our community. Thank you one and all!

 

As the academic year closes, we would like to get your feedback on the 2021-2022 programming and find out what we can do better next year. Please complete this 10-minute survey https://forms.gle/ZwDmkErNRVPvUQWF7 at your earliest convenience. The survey is also how we assess member participation for our report to the RNA Society. Your response is important for us to maintain our RNA Salon status. Thank you for your help!

 

History

The Colorado RNA Club began in 1986 following the recruitment of Dr. Olke Uhlenbeck to CU Boulder. Originally a “supergroup” meeting of the Cech, Gold, Yarus and Uhlenbeck labs, the “club” expanded over the years as more and more groups in Colorado began to work on RNA. Today, the Colorado RNA Club includes RNA researchers from all four University of Colorado campuses, Colorado State University, Metropolitan State University, and the University of Denver.

CRC Undergrad Day

Please join us each autumn for this annual event designed to promote understanding about the graduate school admission process in Colorado. Undergraduate students meet with doctoral students and admissions committee members from graduate schools across our state to learn about various opportunities for advanced study, the types of research being conducted in Colorado, and details regarding application to these programs.
