Unlocking the
power of RNA
to improve lives

About

Sanford Laboratories for Innovative Medicines (Sanford Labs) is an independent, not-for-profit collaborative hub for research and maturation of next-generation RNA technologies and therapies. We are unlocking the power of RNA to design and develop novel molecular medicines for previously intractable diseases.

Launched in 2023, Sanford Labs is pioneering a new approach to biomedical research. By catalyzing partnerships between academia and industry, we aim to leverage the complementary strengths of both sectors to propel new discoveries to patients.

Unlike traditional academic labs, our research programs are organized around therapeutic approaches and platform technologies with broad applicability to a range of diseases, thus enabling the efficient prototyping of multiple new medicines in parallel. Our unique entrepreneurial environment provides the opportunity to investigate new therapeutic avenues and advance programs with the potential to benefit patients, supported by a team of industry experts.
