"The RBI focus on bringing in single-cell RNAseq and other new technologies has introduced RNA research to a large, diverse community of researchers on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus."
Kent Riemondy, PhD
Research faculty lead of the RBI Informatics Fellows"The RBI allows RNA researchers in Colorado to share their work more effectively and frequently, promoting more meaningful collaborations."
Danielle Bilodeau, PhD
Former RBI RNA Scholar"RBI's focus on education and training for junior scientists has provided material support for a large group of trainees to “skill-up” on RNA bioinformatics as a cohort. I honestly don't think I could've chosen a better place for PhD graduate training."
Laura White
RBI RNA Scholar"The RBI created inter-department and inter-campus communities by providing technical and academic resources… built pipelines for recruiting trainees… and spread the word that CU Anschutz is a major RNA hub."
Aaron Johnson, PhD
Associate Professor Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics
