MRNA's Next Chapter Has Nothing to Do With COVID-19 Vaccines

JAMIE DUCHARME

It’s safe to say that before the development of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, most people hadn’t thought about messenger RNA, or mRNA, since high school science class—if ever.

The molecule plays a pivotal role in the body, carrying the recipes for making various proteins to the parts of cells that produce them. But “mRNA” wasn’t exactly a common phrase until Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna harnessed the genetic material’s power to teach the body to make a piece of a protein found on the COVID-19 virus’ surface, thus training it to fight the real thing, were it to attack.

“COVID [vaccines are] a big success for mRNA, and if it does nothing else, it’s been great,” Chien says. “However, I think you’re going to see the next chapter of mRNA is going to be as exciting, if not more so, than the story of mRNA vaccines.”
