The Shine‑Dalgarno Centre for RNA Innovation

The Shine‑Dalgarno Centre for RNA Innovation (SDCRI) is a cross‑ANU initiative uniting researchers to advance RNA science and technology. Our mission is to accelerate the translation of RNA discoveries into real‑world impact, including new therapeutics, diagnostics, and enabling technologies. SDCRI fosters multidisciplinary collaboration across academia, industry, clinicians, and government to address major health and biosecurity challenges. Our research spans cancer, ageing, neurodegeneration, infectious disease, and emerging areas such as plant pathogens and molecular design, positioning ANU as a hub for RNA‑driven innovation. A flagship program is the National Therapeutic mRNA Platform, a new facility streamlining mRNA therapeutic design and optimisation.
