Exciting news from Moderna and MSD at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting. The latest results show that the combination of individualised neoantigen therapy and KEYTRUDA is delivering better outcomes for patients with melanoma compared to those receiving KEYTRUDA alone. This breakthrough in cancer treatment offers hope for improved options for melanoma patients. #mRNA #personalisedcancervaccines #cancerresearch #research   https://lnkd.in/eCTEuRPu

Another sold out event in our series of lectures with BioMelbourne Network for the local mRNA ecosystem   Lecture 4 in the series, ‘Regulation of the mRNA Platform, Opportunities and Challenges’ featured presentations from Professor John Skerritt from the University of Melbourne and Dr Carolyn Tucek-Szabo from Moderna    In a broad-ranging discussion introduced by mRNA Victoria’s A/CEO Phoebe Dunn and facilitated by Victoria’s Lead Scientist Dr Amanda Caples, the experts outlined current work underway to streamline processes for the regulation of mRNA vaccines and therapies.   The key takeaway from the event was the need to develop harmonised international approaches to regulation of mRNA in preparation for the next pandemic, potentially positioning Australia as a world-leader in mRNA regulatory science #mRNA #research #biotech #innovation #regulation

“Although most scientists now agree on RNA's bright promise, we are still only beginning to unlock its potential.” Nobel Laureate, Thomas Cech from the University of Colorado Boulder highlighting that the age of medical research breakthroughs using RNA is just beginning. #mRNA #research #innovation #RNA The New York Times https://lnkd.in/geGdrD69
