FEATURED EDITORIAL

Next-Gen Analytical Methods To Watch In mRNA-LNP Development

In the opening clip from this Advancing RNA Live event, AbbVie’s Elaine Peters, Sanofi’s Philippe Talaga, and Tessera’s Ilya Shestopalov share the novel methods they’ve been watching the most closely in the mRNA-LNP development space, as well as the role these methods will play in elucidating more about our drug products’ quality attributes. 

Drugging The tRNA Control System

Drug discovery has usually treated transfer RNA as cellular infrastructure: indispensable, highly conserved, and therefore dangerous to perturb. That description is accurate but incomplete. 

Why Delivery Is Defining The Next Era Of Neuromuscular Therapeutics

Emerging therapies are being designed to safely deliver oligonucleotides to disease-relevant tissues. Delivery is no longer a technical hurdle to overcome but a strategic lever.

From Cell State Reprogramming To The Clinic: Turning The Regulatory Genome Into RNA Medicines (Pt. 2)

Ounzain discusses how regulatory genome biology is being translated into drug discovery, from identifying lncRNA targets to building clinically relevant therapeutics and more.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
