At the ICBS 2026 conference, researcher Amanda Garner gave a talk on how small molecules can be designed to target RNA specifically. She presented her group's tools for studying small molecule-RNA interactions inside cells and for disrupting RNA-protein interactions, work that could open new paths for drug discovery against targets long considered undruggable.

Why now: Targeting RNA with small molecules is a fast-moving frontier in chemical biology and drug development, and her talk offered concrete new tools.
