Quebec is home to a range of innovative life sciences companies, covering a variety of therapeutic areas involving RNA research and development.
Quebec is an established hub for pharmaceutical development and has hosted the R&D centers of many major pharmaceutical companies.
At the dawn of the RNA era, a growing number of companies like Moderna choose to establish themselves in Quebec. Quebec’s life sciences ecosystem, including its RNA sector, is now mainly made up of small and early-stage companies, often spinning off from university research and contract research organizations (CROs) with cutting-edge know-how in drug development. This expertise is easily transferable to the development of RNA-based therapies.
