May 3, 2022 Research Bulletin

Volume 3, Issue 9

Dear Colleagues, 

It was wonderful to see the CU School of Medicine’s RNA Bioscience Initiative (RBI) featured at last week’s Transforming Healthcare event. Presented by Chancellor Elliman, this community lecture series showcases the extraordinary medical advancements and scientific progress taking place on our campus.   

The RBI team shared how their breakthroughs are transforming the future of medicine, opening up a wide range of new treatments, diagnostic tools and therapies. If you weren’t able to make it to the April 26 event, I would encourage you to watch a recording online, including all five speakers’ presentations.   

I want to recognize the RBI team and all those involved in organizing this very successful event spotlighting the outstanding basic science research taking place on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.   

Sincerely, 

Thomas Flaig, MD
Vice Chancellor for Research
University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz
