Karolinska ATMP Center, a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital, has opened a new mRNA infrastructure at the pre-GMP facility on the Flemingsberg campus. This environment provides researchers and clinicians with the opportunity to produce mRNA and formulate it in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for research purposes.
