The recent success of mRNA vaccines has opened the door for further and future development of nucleic acid-based therapies.

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics have been stepping up into the spotlight following the deployment of messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines in 2021 and the rise in clinical development programs for gene therapies. These areas of development may just be the surface of the types of therapeutic applications where nucleic acid-based therapeutics can come into play. Tackling the development challenges of these therapeutics can potentially benefit more expansive areas of unmet medical need, particularly in difficult-to-treat patient populations.
