'Next-Generation RNA Vaccines & Therapies' - Prof. Anna Blakney, 2022 Gairdner Laureate Lectures

Prof. Anna Blakney, a 2022 Early Career Investigator Awardee, presented her research at the 2022 Gairdner Science Week Laureate Lectures.

Anna Blakney is an Assistant Professor in the Michael Smith Laboratories and School of Biomedical Engineering at UBC. She received her Bachelor of Science in Chemical & Biological Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Washington. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Imperial College London on the development of molecular and biomaterial engineering strategies for delivery of self-amplifying RNA. Her lab uses bioengineering, molecular biology and immunology approaches to develop the next generation of RNA vaccines and therapies.
