In this feature from RNZ's Our Changing World, Dr Lisa Connor and Dr Rebecca McKenzie share an engaging introduction to the New Zealand RNA Development Platform. The interview explores how the Platform is building New Zealand's RNA capability, supporting the development of new vaccines and therapeutics, and helping translate world-class RNA research into real benefits for our communities.
If you're new to the RNA Platform, this is a great place to start. Claire Concannon breaks down RNA technology in a clear, non-scientist-friendly way, while Lisa and Rebecca explain why the Platform was established, what we're working to achieve, and how we're building a stronger RNA future for New Zealand.
Whether you prefer to listen or read, this feature offers an accessible introduction to our work and the impact we're aiming to create.
