Congratulations to the two 2024 #Moderna Australia Fellowship winners: Drs. Ernest Moles @ernest_moles & Felix Rizzuto @FelixRizzuto at @KidsCancerInst CCI & @UNSWChemSociety Sch Chemistry. Double win for @UNSW & both are good friends of the @UNSWRNA - we couldn't be prouder!

We at the @UNSWRNA team are very proud of this that @dpinsw led! First batch of an animal mRNA vaccine that was made here in Australia by us in March in collaboration with @Tibabiotech who developed this vaccine. #mRNA

Incredible summary from @SelFdz about the very successful @UNSWRNA mission to #Brazil . We are looking forward to expanding our collaborations with a number of Institutes, Companies and Centres in Brazil on advances in (m)RNA Research and Therapeutic development. #mRNA #RNA.

Come and join the team! #ozchem #RNA

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 @UNSWRNA 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_Aust ) can work together to advance RNA therapeutics. #mRNA #ozchem #RNA

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

Matthew Disney @disney_lab 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 @UNSWRNA !

Congratulations to @UNSWRNA Academic group leader Dr. Selene Ferandez Valverde @SelFdz from @UNSWBABS 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 @KirbyInstitute team including our @UNSWRNA 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 @Emma4Dobell 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

Scott combines approaches from physics and biology to build a quantitative understanding of gene expression at the single-cell level. His current work focuses on understanding how cells precisely control the concentration of mRNA transcripts. 4/4

Selene @SelFdz uses #genomics & #bioinformatics to explore the role of regulatory RNAs on plants, animal and human diversity & understanding how non-coding #RNAs evolve, to help create programs for rapidly identifying those with functional or biotechnological significance. 3/4

Daniel is a cellular immunologist specialised in the study of T cell memory and T cell-mediated immunity against infectious diseases, especially malaria. He seeks to develop novel vaccination strategies that harness T cell immunity for superior protection against infection. 2/4

Welcome to Daniel Fernandez Ruiz, Selene Fernandez Valverde, Scott Berry and to the UNSW RNA Institute! Daniel, Selene and Scott join us now to establish research groups here as part of our New Talent Program. @UNSW @UNSWScience @UNSWEngineering @UNSWMedicine #RNA #mRNA 1/4

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 @CCNewSouthWales for funding our research to improve outcomes for high- risk #neuroblastoma & #sarcoma @KidsCancerInst @UNSWMedicine @NanoMed_UNSW @UNSWRNA #childhoodcancer

Absolutely stunning piece of research by Prof. Matthew Disney @disney_lab @UFScripps published in @Nature on Programming inactive RNA-binders into bioactive degrader. MedChem+RNA=Winning! Disney is on the @UNSWRNA Expert Expert Advisory Board. #ozchem #RNA

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. @KidsCancerInst @MK_CCI https://t.co/LBNcp3xpMY

Major breakthrough from our own @MK_CCI @ernest_moles at @KidsCancerInst 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 https://t.co/cNBKoGBQuE
