RNA therapeutics are a new class of medicines that have a broad applicability targeting disease relevant proteins. Proteins are large and complex molecules that play a critical role in the body’s capacity to be healthy. Currently, most approved drugs are small molecules and protein biologics, which can only target a very limited number of proteins or genes.

This uncovers new therapeutic possibilities for previously undruggable targets.
