What is mRNA? (2022)
I had the amazing opportunity to work as part of UNSW’s 3D Visualisation Aesthetics Lab, along side Professor John McGhee and his team of scientists.
In lead up to the opening of the new RNA institute - We created a visually immersive 3D animation to explore mRNA’s role in our cells and to show how it helps fight COVID-19.
The rapid advances in the RNA biology and therapeutics have led RNA being developed to support a number of needs in the scientific community, from mRNA vaccines, cancer treatment and agriculture diagnostics. Check out the more about the institute here.
