The ISFMS2019 has been a success!

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

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.
