We would like to thank our chairs, speakers, and all the attendees for making this a great symposium.
See you at the next edition!
Welcome from the Chairs
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to the 3rd International Symposium on Frontiers in Molecular Science – RNA regulatory networks, to take place in the vibrant city of Lisbon (Portugal) from 26-28th June 2019. The meeting will analyze the centrality of RNA regulation in biological processes and human disease, and it will constitute an excellent opportunity for the interchange of ideas and presentation of new scientific developments in the field. We aim to discuss the many dimensions of RNA regulation in development and disease, RNA structure-function relationships, the mechanisms by which plasticity is introduced, and the role of RNA in transgenerational communication.
The symposium will also serve as unique platform for the connection between senior scientists and young researchers, and for the solid establishment of future collaborations between research groups. For those new to the field, it is also an opportunity to be introduced to the exciting developments at the forefront of molecular biology.
We expect to accommodate 200 participants with especial emphasis in the involvement of young researchers from the post-graduate to the post-doctoral level.
We look forward to seeing you in Lisbon.
Francisco J. Enguita & John Mattick

LISBON
Lisbon is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, with an estimated population of 505,526 within its administrative limits in an area of 100.05 km2.
Its urban area extends beyond the city's administrative limits with a population of around 2.8 million people, being the 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union. About 3 million people live in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (which represents approximately 27% of the country's population). It is mainland Europe's westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. Lisbon lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the River Tagus. The westernmost areas of its metro area form the westernmost point of Continental Europe, which is known as Cabo da Roca, located in the Sintra Mountains.
Lisbon is recognized as an alpha-level global city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Study Group because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education, and tourism. Lisbon is the only Portuguese city besides Porto to be recognized as a global city. It is one of the major economic centers on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Europe's Atlantic coast. Additionally, Humberto Delgado Airport served 26.7 million passengers in 2017, being the busiest airport in Portugal, the 3rd busiest in the Iberian Peninsula, and the 20th busiest in Europe, and the motorway network and the high-speed rail system of Alfa Pendular links the main cities of Portugal (such as Braga, Porto, and Coimbra) to Lisbon. The city is the 9th-most-visited city in Southern Europe, after Rome, Istanbul, Barcelona, Milan, Venice, Madrid, Florence, and Athens, with 3,320,300 tourists in 2017.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and one of the oldest in Western Europe, predating other modern European capitals such as London, Paris, and Rome by centuries.
VENUE
The conference will take place in the “Pavilion of Knowledge ”, it belongs to the initial infrastructures built up for the International Exhibition in Lisbon 1998. It has been currently re-converted into a science museum, and has an auditorium for 200 people and also space for coffee breaks and a library. The auditorium is equipped with projection and sound facilities, and specialized staff that will be located for the event. The venue is located in a modern vibrant part of Lisbon, with nice pedestrian areas and good connections to the city center by metro, that is currently been populated by a lot of technological companies. The pavilion is also very close to Lisbon Portela international airport (around 10 minutes by metro or taxi). For more information see: https://www.pavconhecimento.pt/en/

Gala Dinner
Thursday 27 June, 20:00
30€ per person
We invite you to join us for the Conference Dinner at Espelho D’ Água ('Water Mirror' in English). Built in 1940 in Belem, Lisbon, as a restaurant/beer hall for the Exhibition of the Portuguese World, Espaço Espelho D’ Água has now been renovated to its original modernist style and turned into a versatile, multipurpose space. The restaurant proposes an imaginary journey, with the fusion between the flavors of the West and the East, inspired by the era of the Portuguese Great Navigations. There will be a welcome cocktail before the dinner.
Espelho D’ Água is located at Av. Brasilia, between Museu Arte popular and Padrão dos descobrimentos, in Belém, 1400-038 Lisbon.
