The COFOLD seminars is a virtual seminar series hosted by Ebbe Sloth Andersen, and is for everyone who is interrested in learning more about the conundrum that is the cotranscriptional folding of RNA. The speakers at the COFOLD seminars have been carefully chosen to present their latest research within the COFOLD field, which can include everything from folding algorithms to structural studies of RNA molecules. Ebbe is very passionate about this specific subject and is leading an interdiciplinary synergy project with the main aim to study how RNA molecules fold during synthesis (co-transcriptional folding) using rational design of RNA folding pathways (RNA origami) as a key tool to gain detailed insight into this process. With this, he was inspired to start the COFOLD seminars in an attempt to create a network for people with similar interrestes.
