We couldn't have done this without you Jeff!! Big thanks to Jeff Welsh who was the key driver in setting up our plasmid and mRNA production capabilities, building on his decades of experience in biotechnology. Thank you Jeff - make the best of your next journey down in Tasmania!

We at the UNSW RNA Institute were delighted to host Branwen Morgan, Nick Hong Seng Lee & Sarigama Rajesh from CSIRO We had very fruitful discussions about how we and other RNA R&D groups (incl TIA ) can work together to advance RNA therapeutics. #mRNA #ozchem #RNA

This is a great opportunity for those that are developing RNA therapeutics. The UNSW RNA Institute is very proud to be involved in the BRIDGE program.

Matthew Disney Matt Disney is one of our Advisory Board Members. We are very grateful to him to make the journey here to Sydney to attend our Symposium and Advisory Board meeting last week. Wishing you all the best for the remaining part of your visit to the UNSW RNA Institute !

Congratulations to UNSW RNA Institute Academic group leader Dr. Selene Ferandez Valverde Selene FeRNAndez from UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences on her nature paper! This important paper describes the Mexican Biobank project which can improve medicine & answer questions about ancestry relevant to Mexico's history. #RNA

Congratulations on to the Kirby Institute, UNSW team including our UNSW RNA Institute members, A/Prof. Stuart Turville, Prof. Antony Kelleher and Dr. Chantelle Ahlenstiel. We are very proud to be supporting the on-going development of this siRNA COVID-19 treatment.

We were delighted to host Emma McBride MP Emma McBridie MP and Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, Assistant Minister for Rural and Regional Health here at the RNA Accelerator to discuss how we can boost the development of RNA therapeutics . #mRNA #RNA

Fantastic first day here at the Shine-Dalgarno Symposia! So much cool RNA science and history. And a great opportunity for the whole Australian RNA community to meet up!

Huge thanks to Cancer Council NSW for funding our research to improve outcomes for high- risk #neuroblastoma & #sarcoma Childrens Cancer Institute UNSW Medicine & Health NanoMed UNSW RNA Institute #childhoodcancer

Absolutely stunning piece of research by Prof. Matthew Disney Matt Disney Wertheim UF Scripps published in nature on Programming inactive RNA-binders into bioactive degrader. MedChem+RNA=Winning! Disney is on the UNSW RNA Institute Expert Expert Advisory Board. #ozchem #RNA nature.com/articles/s4158…

A series of bispecific antibodies acts as a “guidance system” that improves the safety and specificity of the doxorubicin derivative #caelyx against high-risk #leukemia in mice, and may facilitate the translation of liposomal drugs. Childrens Cancer Institute Prof Maria Kavallaris AM 🌈 scim.ag/2H3

Major breakthrough from our own Prof Maria Kavallaris AM 🌈 Ernest Moles at Childrens Cancer Institute in targeted cancer drug delivery, which is likely to have a huge impact on RNA therapeutic development! The key here is using bispecific antibodies and PEGylated nanoparticles. #mRNA

Delighted to host year 12 biology students from All Saints College in Bathurst today here at the UNSW RNA Institute. We walked the student through our facility and explained to them how mRNA, siRNA and other #RNA therapeutics are made and what they can be used for.

At the wonderful Garvan Institute of Medical Research with it's helical (DNA inspired!) staircase. The UNSW RNA Institute are here with other RNA-minded people from across Sydney including the Kirby Institute, UNSW UNSW Medicine & Health and Australian Institute for Microbiology & Infection to discuss opportunities for collaboration in the RNA translational space

Fantastic opportunity for an industry related RNA postdoc with UNSW RNA Institute member Prof Kate Quinlan
