Event time
1:00pm - 2:00pm
Event address
In-person & online. Kirby Institute, Seminar Room Level 6, Wallace Wurth Building, Kensington Campus, UNSW Sydney

RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a programmable, modular, scalable, and non-immunogenic approach to controlling gene expression based on endogenous mechanisms imbued in the human cell. In this seminar Professor Morris will provide examples of lipid nanoparticle and exosome mediated delivery of therapeutic RNAs to treat various human diseases.
