Monash Warwick Alliance

Monash is home to Australia’s largest network of RNA and mRNA researchers. As part of a dynamic team, Professor Colin Pouton, Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Studies and Monash Warwick Alliance research collaborator, recently received funding through the mRNA Victoria Research Acceleration Fund. The funding will improve treatments for people with muscular dystrophy; and metabolic liver disease in infants. Professor Pouton will once again collaborate with Professor Perrier, Monash-Warwick Alliance Chair in Polymer Chemistry, on this research which seeks to improve therapeutic delivery of RNA. Joining them on the project next year will be an Alliance PhD student from Warwick, who will be working under the supervision of both professors.
