Talking #DataScience at the #D2RSymposium2025. We learned about research that combines a video game & biology to combat diseases, gene splicing, a new Health Data Science Platform at @mcgill.ca and RNA sequencing from
@nanoporetech.com.

🎙️That’s a wrap for #D2RSymposium2025! Ended with an open mic with D2R’s leadership & announced poster winners!

Big thanks to our speakers, judges, presenters, attendees & sponsors: Illumina, Moderna, Deep Genomics. TriLink, BioVectra, Oxford Nanopore, adMare, Roche and Charles River.

🌟 The #D2RSymposium2025 kicked off with remarks from
@mcgill.ca's VPRI & D2R's CSO. Next D2R partners spoke about:
🧬 @usherbrooke.bsky.social: RNA group
🔬 UBC: Nanocore
🤝 QC NEIHR: best practices for Indigenous health research
🌍 McGill Genome Centre: D2R’s international partners

🌟 The D2R Research Symposium 2025 is officially underway!

Today & tomorrow we will post highlights of the event including inspiring talks, innovative research and poster presentations about #RNAtherapeutics. 💡

At the #D2RSymposium2025, so far we’ve heard:
✔️ @mcgill.ca's LNP design research & a core platform on end-to-end sequencing for RNA therapies
✔️ llumina's multi omics assays
✔️ @usherbrooke.bsky.social on RNA anti-cancer therapies
✔️ UBC's research on a probe for optimizing RNA delivery

Starting #D2RSymposium2025, day ✌️, #RNAtherapeutics session chaired by M. McKeague.

🔊: N. Moitessier on RNA-targeting, G. Rouleau on CRISPR tech, K. Choquet (@usherbrooke.bsky.social) on pre-mRNA splicing, J. Frtiz on iCELL platform, B. Hudson, TriLink, on next-gen mRNA design!

Day 1 #D2RSymposium2025 wraps up with inspiring presentations on mRNA translation, #RNA splicing, RNA production technologies, infectious disease platforms & AI platforms to predict biology.

Stay tuned for Day 2 updates tomorrow!

Inspiring #EDI session at #D2RSymposium2025!
“Diverse teams enhance innovation & problem-solving.”
A panel of @mcgill.ca experts highlighted:
• How EDI is shaping health research
• D2R’s EDI vision and action plan
• Examples how EDI is being integrated into D2R research.

👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 A highlight of #D2RSymposium2025 is student trainees presenting D2R projects through poster presentations. Inspiring to see the next generation of researchers contributing to the conversation on #RNAtherapies!
