On Tuesday 15th November 2022 , MDPI and the Journal ncRNA-J organized the 7th Webinar on ncRNA-J entitled “ The Emerging Role of Human Long Non-coding RNAs in Metabolic Homeostasis and Diseases”. This online seminar was chaired by Prof. Dr. Xiaobo Zhong from the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy, University of Connecticut, USA. He was joined by Dr. Haiming Cao from the Cardiovascular Branch, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA.
Dr Haming Cao, presented recent evidence on the role of human long non-coding RNAs in metabolic homeostasis and diseases. The presentation was followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend.
