The Race Against Time:
How mRNA Surmounted the COVID-19 Pandemic
Vaccines can be said to have been the ‘game changer’ in the recent pandemic, turning the tide against soaring deaths and enabling a gradual return to pre-COVID lifestyles. The groundbreaking mRNA vaccines are highly effective – how were they developed and manufactured in record time?
The success of mRNA vaccines has highlighted the potential of mRNA technology. Can cancer and other diseases be treated with this new paradigm? Will the field of mRNA therapeutics fulfil its promise?
Join us for a very special evening with representatives from Moderna and KKH recounting The Race Against Time from clinical development, regulatory approvals, distribution and administration of the vaccines.
This event is held in conjunction with the launch of Going Viral, a new exhibition at the Science Centre Singapore. Enjoy an exclusive night tour! Buffet dinner provided.
