Biotechnology has expanded our understanding and ability to address human health challenges. However, the path to clinical development of biotechnology innovations remains an intriguing challenge, with only a few innovations that have succeeded in becoming transformative tools and therapies. In this article, we explore the latest trends in healthcare biotechnology, focusing on RNA-based vaccines and […]

Precision medicine has seen extraordinary advances in recent years, driven largely by research into oligonucleotide biosynthesis. These tiny fragments of nucleic acid have emerged as key players in the development of highly targeted therapies that could revolutionise the treatment of diseases ranging from genetic to complex. Oligonucleotide biosynthesis is a process in which bacteria are […]

From the 1980s and 1990s to the present day, the field of drug delivery has undergone an extraordinary transformation that has redefined the way we administer medical treatments. This time period has seen revolutionary advances in drug delivery, driven by the convergence of nanotechnology, gene therapy and the search for more precise and effective treatments. […]

RNA is an essential molecule for life, but its discovery and understanding has been a decades-long process. In this article, we will explore the evolution of knowledge about RNA from its discovery to the present day and how it has revolutionised our understanding of molecular biology and genetics. Introduction: What is RNA? Ribonucleic acid (RNA) […]

The OLIGOFASTX team is focused on the development of oligonucleotide-based therapies for certain rare diseases covering the whole cycle: from research to manufacturing and distribution of future new oligonucleotide-based drugs. To this end, the companies that make up the consortium are specialised in one area, which in combination provides a form of collaboration that allows […]
