The centre will provide integrated expertise and evidence generation to help innovators accelerate the development of next-generation RNA medicines.
From mitochondrial networks that silently rebalance fusion and fission, to chromosomes that only reveal their fate in the minutes after division, live-cell imaging uncovers dynamics that static snapshots miss entirely. We explore three examples, including how tracking RNA therapeutic vehicles as they transit and escape endosomal compartments in real time resolves ambiguity that even super-resolution imaging of fixed cells can’t overcome.
By looking beyond the diffraction limit, we have established a method to quantitatively distinguish low-grade breast cancers that appear identical by traditional means. Ultimately, this nanoscale insight could expand access to novel HER2-targeted therapies by reliably identifying low expressing cohorts that would benefit from intervention.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are recognised as a leading delivery platform following clinical success in vaccine and therapeutic applications. Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) has built a preclinical platform to evaluate LNPs against two major challenges in the field. In this blog, Lead Scientist, Dr Phil Auckland, presents a case study of this workflow using intravenously administered LNPs encapsulating mRNA, which differentially target four major liver cell types.
Opening new avenues for RNA therapeutics through a preclinical screening and optimisation platform. In this blog, Lead Scientist Dr Phil Auckland describes how applying this platform to a library of 4,500 lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations enabled the identification of novel candidates with desirable mechanistic properties and in vivo functionality. Furthermore, we show that integrating multiple in vitro readouts can enhance prediction and thereby improve translation.
The BIO International Convention is being held in San Diego on the 22 to 25 June 2026. MDC are co-exhibiting with the UK Pavilion on Booth 2221, Ground Floor. Come and meet the team onsite to hear more, or find us on the partnering app to book a meeting with us onsite.
