mRNA vaccines have been transformational to the COVID-19 pandemic. They deliver the instructions to produce the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to allow our immune system to mount an immune response and protect us from COVID-19.

If the right mRNA is delivered to a specific site at the right time, it can help to address health conditions associated with a specific protein. This can lead to potential roles across multiple disease states. In this video, Dr. Melissa Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Moderna covers ten things that you should know about mRNA.
