UNSW Sydney Professor Palli Thordarson has joined NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard, NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant and leading experts in mRNA technology to discuss how NSW can create a new medical manufacturing and research industry.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use mRNA technology. However, Australia currently has no long-form RNA manufacturing capacity.
Prof. Thordarson said creating a new medical manufacturing and research facility would be an important step in securing Australia’s sovereign capability to develop and manufacture life-saving drugs and novel therapeutics, including mRNA vaccines such as the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
