Advancing RNA Discovery into Therapeutics and Biotechnologies


The听平特五不中 Centre for RNA Sciences (MCRS) unites world-class researchers to foster excellence in interdisciplinary RNA sciences at 平特五不中 and partner institutions, through training and translation of RNA discoveries into innovative clinical and technological applications.

The Centre鈥檚 common infrastructure, as it is progressively developed, will be distributed and organized to integrate common and interdisciplinary discovery research, training and translational initiatives for the RNA research community. The MCRS will foster and enrich scientific collaborations through events, team grants, training opportunities and the sharing of data, expertise and research resources. Common RNA technology platforms will be developed and operated in partnership with departments, faculties and clinicians, providing properly structured training within the common spaces of the Centre.
