Silence Therapeutics is developing a new generation of medicines in the increasingly high-profile sector of RNA therapeutics, using the body’s natural mechanism of RNA interference to inhibit the expression of disease. On the back of two recent strategic deals, on 25 March 2020 the company announced a major collaboration with AstraZeneca to develop novel drugs for cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and respiratory diseases. Here to talk through the details of the AstraZeneca deal and equity investment, strategic initiatives and forthcoming milestones for Silence Therapeutics are Dr Rob Quinn, CFO and Dr John Strafford, Head of Business Development.
