Order, Chaos, And The mRNA Black Box: Takeaways From The USP/AMM Forum

To be clear, this year’s USP/AMM quality forum was just as focused on the intricacies of applying/using the methods. But what was equally if not more present in this year’s discussion was our increasing acknowledgement that our understanding of mRNA and its biological mechanisms remains quite messy.

From Supporting Component to Strategic Driver: The Evolving Role of gRNA in CRISPR Therapeutics

Guide RNA is evolving from a simple targeting reagent into a complex, engineered molecule shaped by expanding CRISPR modalities, increasing length and modification demands, and tighter integration with manufacturability, analytical control, and regulatory expectations.

The RNA Ties That Bind: 3 Takeaways From The OPT Congress

Here, I unpack three takeaways I had from the OPT Congress, each of which I’d argue are indicative of the interconnectedness across the genetic medicines field.

Rethinking ATMP Assurance When Sterility Timelines, Reality Misalign

The compendial 14-day sterility testing window exposes product and patient to numerous risks, but settling on a rapid alternative also presents its own set of challenges.
