31. The Road To Metric-Ton siRNA Production: Is Enzymatic Ligation Ready For Commercial Volume? 3/27/2026

    Can we actually achieve metric-ton siRNA production today using enzymatic ligation? While the ligation step is highly scalable, upstream "blockmer" synthesis remains the primary bottleneck. Advancing RNA Live panelists Claire McCleod and Jill Caswell discuss the shift from "scaling out" to "scaling up" and lessons learned in the process of achieving larger scale production. 

32. Taming dsRNA Via Innovation In The Supply Chain 10/15/2025

    Here, Ethris’ Christan Dohmen and Tune Therapeutics’ Stu Sundseth share their take on the most meaningful strategies for reducing dsRNA production. But this discussion also probes a deeper question: Is dsRNA still the most relevant impurity the industry should be chasing, or should focus shift to other contaminants? 

33. What Does 2025 (And Beyond) Hold For The RNA-LNP Space? 12/4/2024

    Three LNP experts share their thoughts on the incremental advancements they’d like to see the RNA-LNP space make in the next few years.

34. Why Our Conversations About Supply Chain Should NOT Overlook This Key Aspect

    When asked which specific topic they’d like to see discussed more regularly in the future as it relates to our supply chains, Featured speakers for the "Got Raw Materials? The State Of The mRNA Supply Chain" event were aligned around this one absolutely critical topic...

35. The Evolving CMC Landscape For mRNA-LNPs 2/24/2026

    In this Advancing RNA Live clip, CMC consultant Sujit Jain unpacks the levels of maturity he’s observed in process and analytical development, as well as supply chain. While vaccines and liver-targeting therapeutics boast what we can call a reproducible platform today, targeted LNP therapies introduce a handful of scale-up sensitivities and characterization hurdles.

    Learn how to build a resilient supply chain to navigate today's complex environment. Expert speakers share insights on optimization, innovation, and strategic planning to meet evolving market conditions.

37. Assessing The Quality & Maturity Of The Next-Gen Oligo Supply Chain 12/3/2025

    As our molecules grow more complicated, so, too, does the supply chain. Here, Advancing RNA Live speakers Khaled Yamout & Camp4’s Satya Kuchimanchi talk through how this growth challenges our understanding of raw material quality and how sponsors can better assess their suppliers.

38. The Make-or-Break Quality Attributes of Plasmid DNA 10/15/2025

    We all know that plasmid quality is foundational in dictating the quality of the final mRNA drug substance. In this clip homing in on upstream process considerations, speakers Stu Sundseth (Tune Therapeutics), Marc Wolfgang (Sail Biomedicines), and Christian Dohmen (Ethris) outline some of the most important CQAs for plasmids and the impact they can have on the resulting quality of the mRNA drug substance for linear mRNA. 

39. Primates, Patents, And Progress: Advancements In Rational LNP Design 2/24/2026

    In this opening Advancing RNA Live clip, NanoVation Therapeutics’ Dominik Witzigmann and Stealth Co’s John Zuris share the scientific advancements they’ve been watching most keenly in the LNP space, as well as some of the evolutions they’re seeing in the overall quality of our RNA-LNP products.
