The RNA Revolution
Decades of research dedicated to RNA science made the rapid development and roll-out of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines possible. McGill University played a crucial role in this history of innovation — and more breakthroughs are on the horizon.
Together with our world-leading capacities in genomic science, McGill’s researchers are developing new RNA-based treatments for a range of diseases alongside a global community of scientists. The University is ensuring these therapies protect human health for all by engaging with diverse populations, Indigenous communities, and vulnerable groups, such as the elderly.
Here is a look at McGill’s game-changing research and the people behind the science.
