It is not often in life that you get the opportunity to try something really important. The seRNA technology has the potential to develop new therapeutic approaches and thus to give patients hope and a better future. That is definitely big enough for me.

Dr. Bernd Hoffmann

mRNAs have had a massive impact on all our lives during the pandemic. Being part of a team that is aiming to develop this life saving technology further and applying it to some of the most devastating diseases is a privilege and an obligation that motivates us every day. Or as Albert Einstein put it: Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.

I was attracted and thrilled by SRTD biotech‘s unique seRNAs platform which may offer hope for patients who are in urgent need for novel treatment modalities in indications of high medical need. It‘s great to work on a team of enthusiasts who are burning for science, who have the needs of patients in mind, and who are committed to making things happen. „The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.“ (Steve Jobs).

Dr. Eckhard von Keutz

The seRNA technology enables the selective expression of proteins in pre-specified target cells. This potentially allows to develop drugs with a high efficacy and an improved safety profile. I am proud to medically direct the transformation from a brilliant concept to a thoroughly investigated therapeutic benefit for patients in need. It is rewarding to be part of this breaking edge team.

In our industry it is not often that you see novel, disruptive technologies. mRNA clearly is such a case and has demonstrated its potential, in the prophylactic setting, already. To further improve and broaden this technology for better therapeutic interventions is the aim of the SRTD team and their seRNA approach. I see my role as a mentor and sounding board for the operational team, and I am excited to be part of the road ahead and the prospects seRNAs offer.

SRTD biotech‘s seRNA platform offers a unique way of activating mRNAs, resulting in only cell-specific expression of effector molecules in tumor cells. This technique provides new and exciting avenues to treat brain tumors, where more efficient therapeutic approaches are desperately needed.
