mRNA and The Search For Transformative Medicines in Cystic Fibrosis

This documentary short, produced by SimuLyve International, tells the story of how Arcturus Therapeutics might very well be on the verge of effectively curing cystic fibrosis with mRNA technology.

Follow scientists Joe Payne and Pad Chivukula, founders of Arcturus, and their lead physician. Dr. David Geller as they explain how this technology could not only potentially cure cystic fibrosis, but how it could go on to cure the 7,000 other rare diseases that afflict hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

We’ve all heard the word mRNA. But now in this film, you can discover what this astonishing molecule actually is, how it’s naturally created in everyone’s body, and how it has the potential to change medicine forever, wiping out thousands of diseases in the future, that our children will never even have to know about.

Director Statement

The discovery of mRNA in vaccines and therapeutics has changed medicine forever, has the potential to stop future pandemics, and to cure 7,000 rare diseases, yet vaccine hesitancy and push back against science and logic itself, creates a need for information, to battle the disinformation. That's my goal with this film, to show the gift to humanity that has been given to us by the discovery or mRNA in vaccines and therapeutics, highlighted by this one company Arcturus Therapeutics, one of many companies that are changing the world as we speak.
