DESCRIPTION:The power of combining genomics with RNA technology is exemplif
 ied by the remarkable and rapid success of mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-
 2. We are at the beginning of a revolution that will enable the rapid\, lo
 w-cost development of genome-guided RNA-based medicines for a wide spectru
 m of diseases\, such as those caused by emerging viruses that threaten our
  society with pandemics and their associated catastrophic health and econo
 mic consequences\, high-burden diseases such as cancer\, which is the numb
 er one cause of death in Canada\, and rare genetic disorders that are incu
 rable or prohibitively expensive to treat.\n\nMcGill University recently f
 ounded two inter-disciplinary institutes\, the McGill Centre for RNA Scien
 ces\, and the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine with t
 he vocation to match the potential of personalized medicine with the flexi
 bility and speed promised by RNA therapeutics. At the forefront of this me
 eting will be collaborating RNA academic poles in Quebec and Canada that a
 re part of several ongoing projects and proposals\, but most prominently w
 ith leading industrial partners.\n
