The right approach to human therapy

The RIGHT (RNA Interference Technology as Human Therapeutic Tool) consortium consists of 18 research institutions and four companies from nine European countries. The project has been funded as an integrated project by the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Development (FP6) since January 2005. Thomas F. Meyer from the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin is coordinating this European research project that aims at exploiting the vast potential of RNA interference (RNAi) for human therapy.
