Youth - Functional and structural characterization of deuterated mRNA
FY 2022-23 · 2022-06-06
Summary
To address the challenges of SARS2 COVID-19 pandemic, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines were developed. While mRNA vaccines and other RNA therapeutics are powerful tools in combatting diseases, their shelf-life is dependent on the integrity of cold chain logistics - the necessity of always storing the vaccine between 4?C and 8?C or at -80?C. This project investigates the potential of protecting mRNA vaccines from degradation by utilizing D2O in multiple ways.

Description (French)
Pour relever les défis de la pandémie de COVID-19, des vaccins à base d'acide ribonucléique messager (ARNm) ont été développés. Si les vaccins à ARNm et d'autres produits thérapeutiques à base d'ARN sont des outils puissants pour combattre les maladies, leur durée de conservation dépend de l'intégrité de la logistique de la chaîne du froid – la nécessité de toujours conserver le vaccin entre 4°C et 8°C ou à -80°C. Ce projet étudie la possibilité de protéger les vaccins à ARNm de la dégradation en utilisant l'eau lourde de plusieurs façons.
