On September 28, 2023, Polish RNA Biology Meeting 2023 starts
- Our conference brings together keynote speakers from around the world alongside a thriving and expanding community of Polish RNA researchers. We hope that this event will serve as a platform for sharing findings and ideas, nurturing fresh collaborations, and catalyzing advancements in RNA biology - says Prof. Gracjan Michlewski, the Chairman of the Scientific Committee of Polish RNA Biology Meeting 2023.
Organized by the IIMCB, the conference aims to share the latest knowledge on RNA, establish new collaborations, and inspire the scientific community to explore new directions of research in this rapidly developing field.
- RNA, once regarded as a mere intermediary in the flow of genetic information, has emerged as a pivotal player in regulating diverse biological processes, from gene expression to protein synthesis. Recent breakthroughs in RNA research have revolutionized medicine, ushering us in a new era of genome editing and mRNA vaccines. Despite remarkable progress, much remains to be uncovered about RNA's role in organismal physiology and pathology, as well as its potential in medical and industrial applications - says Prof. Gracjan Michlewski.

The International Advisory Board Meeting took place on June 19-21, 2023. Four Laboratory Leaders gave scientific presentations:
- Andrzej Dziembowski, Laboratory of RNA Biology - ERA Chairs Group
Complex metabolic pathways of mRNA vaccines - Matthias Bochtler, Laboratory of Structural Biology
Biochemistry of cell fate maintenance and change - Janusz Bujnicki, Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Protein Engineering
Determination of RNA 3D structures by combining experimental and computational methods - Cecilia Lanny Winata, Laboratory of Zebrafish Developmental Genomics
The contribution of the non-coding genome in heart development and disease
Marta Miączyńska, Director of the IIMCB presented a report on the Institute's activities in 2022. Furthermore, current issues and plans for further development of the Institute were discussed. During the meeting the final stage of the competition for the position of Junior Group Leader was held. The Board also met with PhD Students, Postdocs, Researchers and Senior Researchers.
It is our great pleasure to present the Annual Report 2022 of the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw.
The team of IIMCB Directors, researchers and administrators were active participants of the Envisioning the research centres of the future Conference organized for the 10th EU-LIFE Anniversary in Lisbon, Portugal, June 6-7, 2023.
The Conference created a vibrant and interactive space for exchanging ideas and discussions about how to be better researchers, more creative, proactive, sustainable, compassionate, inclusive, equitable and happy. It gathered scientific community, including researchers and scientific leaders, science administrators and policy makers, to dream up the ideal research places of the future.
During panel discussions Prof. Andrzej Dziembowski, Head of Laboratory of RNA Biology-ERA Chairs Group talked about the role of creativity in science, whereas Prof. Janusz Bujnicki, Head of Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Protein Engineering, gave a talk on how to be productive in the research world. Dr. Małgorzata Figiel provided conclusions to the audience from the discussions on creativity. IIMCB also presented two posters: “Centre of Excellence in RNA and Cell Biology – IIMCB of the future” co-authored by Dr. Iwona Pilecka, Dorota Libiszowska, Marcin Ogonowski and Alexia Danylow, and „Scientific excellence has no gender: IIMCB’s activities on gender equality, diversity & inclusion”, co-authored by Agnieszka Faliszewska, Katarzyna Fiedorowicz and Dr. Urszula-Białek Wyrzykowska.
The conference was preceded by the EU-LIFE Community Meeting. It took place at the hosting Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Oeiras, where representatives of EU-LIFE institutes met to discuss issues in particular Working Groups.
EU-LIFE is an alliance of independent research institutes whose mission is to support and strengthen European research excellence. EU-LIFE members include leading research institutes that are internationally renowned for producing excellent research, widely transferring knowledge, and nurturing talent. Since its founding in 2013, EU-LIFE has become a stakeholder in science policy development, participating regularly in the European science policy dialogue. IIMCB became the first Polish member of the EULIFE alliance in 2020. As a member of EU-LIFE, IIMCB is working with 14 other institutes toward achieving and maintaining excellence in the life sciences, emphasizing quality and responsible science and highlighting issues that are related to European science policies.
