6月27-28日英国皇家科学院院士David Lilley教授参观访问生命之美。我们非常荣幸的邀请到Lilley教授为生命之美的员工，及其合作团队的研究员、博士、硕士研究生们做了一场精彩的学术报告。Lilley教授做了题为“The k-turn motif in RNA: structure, folding and protein binding”的学术报告。深入浅出介绍了有关k-turn RNA基序的结构，折叠及其与蛋白相互作用的前沿领域研究成果，极大开拓了与会者的科学与技术视野。
通过深入交流，Lilley教授与生命之美公司达成合作意向，拟重力开发全新高通量技术，可以在基因组范围内揭秘重要RNA基序在活细胞内的生物学功能。
