Overview
The Nucleic Acid Therapeutics course is offered by Harvard Medical School Online.
Even with the thousands of approved small molecule drugs at our disposal, there remains a lack of effective prevention and treatment for many diseases.
Key facts
- Fortunately, a new and exciting drug modality has emerged called nucleic acid therapeutics that has the potential to address current unmet needs.
- This class of drugs uses nucleic acids and closely related compounds for a variety of applications, including regulating gene expression, stimulating the immune system, editing the genome, or supplying new genetic information, with the goal of treating or preventing disease.
- Learning about nucleic acid therapeutics is therefore essential for anyone working in health care and related sectors.
