Moderna focuses on developing medicines using messenger RNA (mRNA), which is a crucial component in how cells produce proteins necessary for 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 various diseases. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals that often rely on proteins or antibodies, Moderna's mRNA-based therapies can be designed and manufactured more rapidly, allowing for quicker responses to emerging health challenges. The company's goal is to harness the power of mRNA to improve patient outcomes and transform the landscape of medicine.
