ARW ON RNA
Welcome to Advancing RNA’s mRNA Hot Takes, the show where we talk about serious RNA things, but with a spicy twist. Here, in episode 3, Advancing RNA's ARW sits down with Radar Therapeutics' Sophia Lugo and Entrée Bio's Michelle Lynn Hall to call out the "hyped" and "not hyped enough" topics of conversation for the RNA space in 2026.

MEET ARW

I’ve spent the past 10 years building relationships across the biologics and advanced therapies industry. In addition to hosting conversations and writing thought leadership articles, my goal as the editorial and community director for Advancing RNA is to find creative ways for the RNA (and broader ATMP) space to discuss, debate, and ultimately define a mature RNA therapeutics industry.
