Introduction

RNA technology is a critical and emerging area of scientific research with implications for a wide range of industries. 

Australia has the potential to become a leader in RNA technology. We led the development of the RNA Capability Network Index to help organisations find each other and work together, based on recommendations from Australia’s RNA Blueprint. 

This resource uses publicly available information on major organisations in the RNA ecosystem. We will continue to update and improve it over time. We’re also looking for feedback on how we can expand this resource to make sure it is useful. You can provide feedback through our webform. 

Access the resource as:  

  • an interactive map
  • a table with contact details and links to organisations’ websites. 

Explore the interactive map

Select a dot on the map or use the filters to find specific organisations and learn more about them.

Search for a facility

We have also created a table version of the map data.

Use the search box to refine the listed organisations. Sort the columns by selecting the text in any table heading cell.

Results will update as you type.
