The Many Faces of RNA is the subject for the eighth SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals Research Symposia. It
highlights a rapidly developing area of scientific investigation. The style and format are deliberately designed
to promote in-depth presentations and discussions and to facilitate the forging of collaborations between academic
and industrial partners.
This symposium focuses on several of the many fundamental, advancing strategies for exploring RNA and its functions.
It emphasizes the interplay between biology, chemistry, genomics, and molecular biology which is leading to exciting
new insights and avenues of investigation. The book explores RNA as a therapeutic target, RNA as a tool, RNA and
its interactions, along with chemical, computational, and structural investigations.
