Votre Institut en action – September 2024

At the Heart of Excellence in RNA Therapeutics

Interview with Martin Sauvageau, for whom "there are a lot of structuring things going on in RNA and precision medicine, and the IRCM has a great role to play in this." First in a series of contents on the medicine of the future.
