The National Institutes of Health (NIH) campuses host a variety of events that inform, challenge, and unite the biomedical research community. IRP investigators lead or participate in many of these events, and they regularly present their work at scientific conferences at the NIH and around the world. We invite you to learn about (and possibly join us in) some of our upcoming events. Unless otherwise noted, times listed are Eastern Standard Time (EST).
This year's NIH Research Festival will be held September 23-25, with a Green Labs Fair on September 26. Join us to learn about a wide array of incredible research being done in the NIH Intramural Research Program. Scheduled sessions include talks on the future of artificial intelligence (AI) research at NIH; research presentations by participants in the NIH Distinguished Scholars Program; lectures by some of the IRP scientists recently elected to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS); and a scientific poster session. The deadline to submit an abstract for the poster session is Monday, July 22, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
This symposium will discuss the development of cell therapy for the treatment of human cancer, from early studies to the current state of the art of basic, clinical, and translational research utilizing T cells, T-cell receptors, and chimeric antigen receptors.

This NIH Astute Clinician Lecture — part of NIH's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS) — will be presented by IRP Distinguished Investigator Mariana Kaplan, M.D. Her research in NIH's Systemic Autoimmunity Branch combines natural history and treatment studies with basic investigations into the etiology and pathophysiology of rheumatic diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In addition to her research activities, Dr. Kaplan is an active clinician and teacher. She sees lupus patients in the NIH Clinical Research Center and is involved in the development of various clinical trials for patients with autoimmune diseases at NIH.
The annual Astute Clinician Lecture was established in 1998 through a gift from the late Dr. Robert W. Miller and his wife, Haruko. It honors U.S. scientists who have observed unusual clinical occurrences and, by investigating them, have opened an important new avenue of research. The lectureship exemplifies how astute clinical observations can lead to innovative research.
The goal of the NCI RNA Biology Initiative is to establish a collaborative environment that promotes the swift exchange of information and expertise regarding the structure, function, and biological significance of RNA. Our objective is to leverage this collective knowledge to advance the development of novel diagnostics and therapies. We actively foster synergistic collaborations among NCI and NIH intramural investigators, as well as between our researchers and the broader RNA community.
The symposium offers the opportunity to learn more about the current status of RNA biology in development and disease, share research, network with leading figures in the field and discuss the use and implications of these advances for clinical applications.
Organized by the NCI RNA Biology Initiativethis symposium will bring together internationally renowned experts in the field of RNA biology, with the focus on:
RNA Processing
RNA Structure and Mechanism
Non-classical RNAs
RNA Therapy
