ABOUT US

RNA Canada ARN (formerly called The Canadian Consortium of RNA Researchers, C2R2) is a non-profit organization, established in 2023. RNA Canada ARN researchers share an appreciation for the variety of RNA types and functions. They are working together to harness the power of RNA biology to improve the lives of Canadians via therapeutic, diagnostic, agricultural, and biotechnology advances.

  • RNA Canada ARN unites world-leading RNA scientists at universities and biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies across Canada to form an extensive  and cohesive network.

  • RNA Canada ARN trains the next generation of RNA researchers in classrooms and research labs across the country to accelerate RNA-related research discoveries and build a brighter future for Canada.

  • RNA Canada ARN engages with the public, to teach Canadians about the features and uses of RNA technologies, so that they are empowered to access these technologies in their lives.

  • RNA Canada ARN collaborates with the government to set research priorities that maximize RNA discoveries, advance the economy, and enhance the lives of Canadians. 


    As part of the RNA Canada ARN mission, we aim to support the Canadian research ecosystem by helping match RNA associated employers and mentors in with prospective employees and trainees.  Be sure to register here, as a potential job/placement candidate, or as possible researcher/employer!
