Houston Methodist Academic Institute
LEADING RNA MEDICINE The mission of The Center for RNA Therapeutics at Houston Methodist is: (1) to perform cutting-edge research that generates innovative discoveries in RNA biology
CENTER FOR RNA THERAPEUTICS
(2) to translate our findings into transformative RNA therapeutics (3) to democratize RNA therapeutics by offering academic groups and companies a pathway to take their RNA research from bench to bedside
CENTER FOR RNA THERAPEUTICS The Center for RNA Therapeutics has developed infrastructure to create, manufacture, test, develop and implement first in man clinical trials. The Center for RNA Therapeutics is enriched by scientists with skills in RNA biology that are implementing new research findings into all aspects of RNA therapeutic development to provide the most current products and technologies to all researchers. The Center for RNA Therapeutics along with commitment from Houston Methodist Hospital Research Institute also offer GLP/ GMP manufacturing and GLP animal testing and can generate
