<i>The Winter School is designed to explore the latest advancements in RNA biology, with a special focus on computational approaches. As RNA continues to reveal its pivotal roles in gene regulation, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic applications, the integration
of computational tools has become indispensable in uncovering its complexity. Throughout the Winter School, participants will gain insights from leading experts and engage with state-of-the-art techniques for RNA analysis. The event will be held in remote
modality (via ZOOM) and it is open to all students and researchers interested in understading and debating the latest advancements on bioinformatics methods for analysing and predicting structural and functional aspects of RNA. </i></div>
