Welcome to Asobiotics 2025 Registration!  


ASOBIOTICS 2025 is an informal workshop open to everyone interested in the basic principles and diverse applications of RNA-targeting short antisense oligomers (ASOs) to modulate gene expression in bacteria. 

This year’s workshop will be hosted by the NetRNA consortium and take place at the Institute of Molecular Biology of Plants, CNRS, Strasbourg (Léon Hirth conference room).


The workshop is free to attendees, but participants are asked to register (below), primarily for planning reasons, as there will be coffee and a standing sandwich lunch. 

  • What topics will be covered at the workshop?  There will be a few pre-arranged lectures covering RNA target selection and ASO design, evaluation of ASO chemistry, delivery technologies and bacterial uptake mechanisms, and applications to model microbes, microbial consortia and phages, including a special session on siderophore-based ASO delivery.
  • Interested in giving a short oral presentation or presenting a poster?  Please send an informal email with your abstract to asobiotics2025@helmholtz-hiri.de so your abstract can be reviewed by the organizing committee.
  • Program logistics?  The workshop will begin at 9:00 AM and finish by 2:30 PM to allow for time to transition to the Strasbourg Congress Center where the Microbes & RNA 2025 conference starts at 4:00 PM on Monday, September 1.
