Moderna focuses on developing medicines using messenger RNA (mRNA), which is a crucial component in how cells produce proteins necessary for various biological functions. Their approach involves creating a new class of medicines that utilize mRNA to instruct cells to produce specific proteins, potentially leading to significant advancements in treatment options for patients. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals, which often rely on small molecules or proteins, Moderna's mRNA-based therapies aim to enhance the discovery, development, and manufacturing processes of medicines. The company's goal is to leverage the unique properties of mRNA to improve patient outcomes and create a new category of effective treatments.
