UK Opens £30M RNA Biofoundry for Health Innovations, Pandemic Resilience
The UK government is investing heavily in the life sciences sector, with a new £30 million facility aimed at advancing RNA therapies. The UK RNA Biofoundry, based in Darlington, will support research and development, with the potential to switch to vaccine production for pandemic resilience.
The new facility, operated by Newcastle University in collaboration with other partners, will provide tools for UK scientists and businesses to progress RNA therapy ideas and speed up market access. RNA therapies can reprogramme cells to treat various diseases, including cancers and infectious diseases. The UK government's Life Sciences Sector plan includes targeted actions to support RNA research and development.
The UK RNA Biofoundry can manufacture RNA materials affordably, quickly, and to clinical standards. This will be a significant boost for the UK's life sciences sector, which is a key part of the government's plans for growth and innovation. Additionally, the facility can switch to vaccine production, ensuring UK resilience to future pandemics.
The UK RNA Biofoundry, established with a £30 million government investment, is set to accelerate health innovations in the UK life sciences sector. By providing affordable, quick, and clinical-standard RNA materials, it will support research and development, and contribute to pandemic preparedness.
