Welcome to the RNA Therapeutics Institute!

The RNA Promise

Developing Breakthrough RNA Therapeutics

By interweaving nucleic acid scientists with clinicians dedicated to finding new cures, our goal is to create a new paradigm for organizing molecular research that enables the rapid application of new biological discoveries to solutions for unmet challenges in human health. Our current focus is on Huntington’s disease,  alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, viral infections, preeclampsia, cancer, and more.
