RNA Science

With the high-speed development of mRNA vaccines, brought on by rapid advances in the broader area of RNA biology and therapeutics, RNA products are being developed for a wide array of needs.

From cancer treatments to diagnostics to agriculture, RNA science may hold the key to understanding some of the most complex scientific challenges. The UNSW RNA Institute links and expands multidisciplinary teams in RNA biology, RNA chemistry and RNA medicine, with clinical experts and services, underpinned by a pilot-scale RNA accelerator facility.

We use nature as a blueprint and inspiration to solve societal challenges and make new discoveries. That is what our research is about.
