ABOUT ADVANCING RNA

Advancing RNA is a Life Science Connect community focused on the rapidly evolving field of RNA-based therapeutics. It aims to provide valuable insights, discussions, and resources for professionals developing RNA-based drugs. Primary members of the community consist of individuals from biopharma organizations engaged in pre-BLA development, often in the pre-IND discovery stage. The community addresses various challenges in RNA therapy development, including analytical, quality, manufacturing, and regulatory issues. Additionally, Advancing RNA is positioned within the broader Life Science Connect network, allowing members to access additional resources as needed for their RNA therapy development journey.
