DNA and RNA Medicine
"Our mission is to accelerate the translation of gene therapy and to impulse the knowledge of RNA science to provide innovative treatments".
DR. MAITE HUARTE DIRECTOR. DNA AND RNA MEDICINE RESEARCH DIVISION
DNA and RNA Medicine Research Division is committed to developing novel therapies and diagnostic methods to cure rare and neurodegenerative diseases.
We focus on optimising viral vectors and other innovative methods to deliver and modify genetic material to rewrite the fate of the diseased organism.
The possibility of using RNA molecules as drugs and interfering with RNA-regulated processes has opened up a broad range of potential medical applications. We are committed to the deep understanding of the RNA mechanisms that are actors in disease to ultimately be able to use this knowledge to develop RNA-based therapies.
Our final goal is to drive biomedical innovation and discovery, which will lead to improved quality of the life of patients.
