Well-structured course. Module 1 is well made so that non-biologists can understand. Module 2 details how mRNA vaccines work, and how they are made. Module 3 lists the potential applications and future therapies for using mRNA as vaccines. The best part is that this course can be completed within one day.

Excellent course even for people with limited Chemistry and Biology background but interested in mRNA. The course was well structure and delivered clearly by the narrator with good use of visual aids. I had to replay some of the videos not because they were unclear but because of the intensity of information. I also like the glossary and summary for each module, which I found helpful for myself with limited Biology background. I wish Moderna could put up more courses on this platform!

It's a great course for someone like me who wants to do research on how mRNA medicine works. I'd highly recommend this course to those who want to puruse her research in this area. It's 9/10. However, this course should provide certification as well so that it helps them secure a research assistantship in labs. Thanks!
