Heard that RXRX is 3x better than Moderna’s drug discovery yet moderna has way more drugs in the pipeline as well as many in phase 2 and 3. Isn’t mrna easier to work with vs small molecules? When do we see the 3x performance materialize?

Always great to hear from a fan… we’re blushing.

But your question is good - mRNA works really well in some important parts of biology - like tricking your body into thinking it has seen components of a virus so it mounts an immune response. But mRNA is not probably the right tool for other areas of biology (like inhibiting an overactive protein).

We think Moderna’s work is awesome

I’m an investor of both companies. I’ve been working my cost avg down on RXRX. And my cost avg on MRNA is moving up. I still believe in both platforms and have yet to sell any stock of either company. The future is bright for both of you. God speed.
