What is mRNA?
As part of UNSW's 3D Visualisation Aesthetics Lab, I worked alongside Professor John McGhee and a multidisciplinary team to create an immersive 3D animation for the opening of the UNSW RNA Institute.
The animation explores the role of mRNA within our cells and how it helps the body respond to COVID-19, while highlighting the broader impact of RNA research across vaccines, cancer therapeutics, and agricultural diagnostics.
