Beard Distinguished Professor of Experimental Surgery and the Founding Director of the Translational Research Institute at Duke University, explores the rise of RNA therapeutics. However, the RNA landscape has drastically changed in recent years and we now know that the molecule is more than just a transient, linear carrier of information.

Studies have identified the presence of two types of HIV-infected CD4+ T cells: ‘Transcriptionally inactive’ cells that do not typically produce viral RNA or viral proteins. Transcriptionally active’ cells in which HIV RNA is actively transcribed to make copies of the virus (despite long-term ART).

RNA therapeutics are a novel class of biopharmaceuticals that harness the power of RNA molecules for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of disorders, including oncological, and genetic disorders as well as infectious diseases. Non-coding RNAs include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA aptamers.

Today, spatial omics technologies enable imaging-based identification of cells in their native tissue context while simultaneously detecting hundreds of RNAs or tens of protein markers in the same cells. RA: Can spatial biology studies help drive advances in precision medicine? Let’s take CAR T cells as an example.

This approach has led to the development of two software packages for RNA sequencing analysis and reproducible ribosomal profiling 1,2. For example, we recently collaborated with two sequencing laboratories to determine optimal parameters for RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) in the context of a vaccine clinical trial.

In addition to pharma and biotech companies who zealously began working to develop COVID-19 drugs and vaccines, companies from areas outside of science and medicine also stepped up to help during the pandemic. Most antibody drugs and vaccines have been developed to target parts of the spike protein.
