RNA-based technology explained: from COVID-19 vaccines to cancer therapies

Описание: RNA-based vaccines have been a success for COVID-19, harnessing the body’s own machinery to produce spike proteins that prepare our bodies to fight SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 has impacted all of us, and something with equal impetus is cancer, with 1 in 2 of us getting cancer in our lifetime.

RNA technology is now being leveraged in the fight against cancer, and it may not be too long until RNA-based cancer therapies become a reality...

CPI’s Juliana Haggerty and Philip Probert, and Imperial College London’s Professor of Immunology, Robin Shattock, explore how we’re helping shape the future of RNA-based therapies in the UK by:

Supporting the UK Government’s Vaccine Taskforce

Working with industry and academia to develop processes and scale-up RNA manufacture using our Ambr250 system

Training the next generation of RNA scientists at our RNA training academy in Darlington in North East England
