Dancing RNA – understanding RNA dynamics for developing next-generation drugs - STIAS Public Lecture by Katja Petzold
To some extent RNA (ribonucleic acid) has been the ugly stepsister to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) – in terms of understanding its roles, mechanisms and dynamics, but the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted RNA resulting in increased interest in understanding exactly how RNA functions in health and disease, and for improving targets for drug and vaccine development.
