The Nucleic Acid Therapy Accelerator (NATA) is a new national research initiative with a mission to accelerate the development of nucleic acid therapeutics, while firmly anchoring the nucleic acid (NA) therapy industry in the UK for many years to come. 

The NATA will be at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, at the heart of a growing Life Health Cluster. It will benefit from and contribute to the campus’ world-class scientific talent, ecosystem and related facilities, including the Research Complex at Harwell and the new Rosalind Franklin Institute.
