Attracted by the chance to delve deep into RNA science and enhance career prospects, young PhD-level researchers continue to pursue The RNA Institute’s Fellows Program at record levels.

The 15 new fellows in the program’s sixth year tops the previous high of 12 from a year ago. It was then that the program received a five-year $1.114 million training grant from the National Institutes of Health to build on its goal of fostering future science leaders exploring RNA pathways to better health and the treatment and eradication of diseases.
