Off the ADAR Radar Conference

About event

For over 30 years the Keegan-O’Connell group have studied ADARs, the RNA editing enzymes. During this period, they have purified ADARs, cloned ADAR genes and characterized these enzymes. They also demonstrated the RNA editing-independent functions of ADARs, studied human ADAR mutant proteins and elucidated the role of ADARs in innate immunity in both mammals and Drosophila. Meanwhile, this fledging RNA Modification field has expanded beyond all recognition and has been shown to be a major regulator of immunity.

This conference will bring together leaders in the ADAR field as well as past members of Keegan-O’Connell group to celebrate the group’s achievements. The conference will be held for one and a half days in Mendel’s Augustinian Abbey, Brno.
