5 Critical Regulatory Topics To Watch In The Oligo Sector
Though our guidances have helped us achieve upwards of 20 commercially approved oligo products, as I listened to GSK’s director of CMC policy and advocacy, Katie Duncan, present at TIDES, it struck me just how far we have yet to come. Here, I single out a few of the biggest topics of regulatory discussion shaping the oligo therapeutics market.

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.
