07.03.24 -- Streamlining Upstream Plasmid DNA Manufacturing

SPONSOR

There’s been great progress in establishing platforms for linear mRNA vaccines — but where does this current know-how fall short for those exploring linear and next-gen RNA constructs for non-vaccine products? Secure your spot for Advancing RNA Live’s next digital panel discussion on the current known unknowns (and unknown unknowns) about our mRNA therapeutics candidates that make adopting the traditional QbD approach complicated. Registration is free thanks to the support of Roche Custom Biotech.

CircRNA with Orna Therapeutics' Tom Barnes, & Advancing RNA's ARW

As if Orna Therapeutics' CEO, Thomas Barnes, isn't enough to draw you in to the Business of Biotech, we teamed up with Advancing RNA Editorial & Community Director Anna Rose Welch to co-host this week's episode. Together, Anna Rose and I press Dr. Barnes on his transition from academia to biotech; the therapeutic proposition of circular, or "O", RNA and why it holds great potential to linear RNA constructs; the novel platform- and partnership-based approaches Orna is taking to address B-cell lymphomas and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy; LNP complexity, and a whole lot more.
