Gennova Biopharmaceuticals
Hundreds of scientists had worked on mRNA vaccines for decades before the coronavirus pandemic brought a breakthrough. mRNA vaccines are a new type of vaccine to protect against infectious diseases and mRNA based technologies could go beyond that to enable a safer alternative to DNA-based therapies for gene replacements or cancer treatments. While we have had experience some of the benefits of mRNA technology, it is still in its infancy stage with plenty of development opportunities to explore.
Join our webinar on the 11th November to hear from the experts as they take us on a deep dive into understanding this new technology and the potential it holds.
*This webinar will be delivered in English and simultaneous interpretation is available in Korean.
