Scientists say mRNA has the potential to target diseases that cannot be reached by conventional drugs.
U.S. emergency authorization of the vaccines - one from Moderna Inc and another from partners Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE – and their gene-based manufacturing processes has shown that the Food and Drug Administration is open to broader use of the previously unproven technology, according to interviews with eight top experts in the field of mRNA. ....

Stella Yi, an assistant professor at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine, said New York City’s Health Department released race-specific data on April 8, 2020. But it just wasn’t adding up with the community-level reports from throughout the city, she said.
