From Baby KJ To Global Access: The 3 Pillars Of Next-Gen mRNA ExpansionObviously, the transition from RNA vaccines to therapeutics is an “expansion” all on its own; but to do this successfully, we need to expand our science, our products’ deliverability, and our patient access. In the following article, I highlight a few of the best practices and/or innovations that came up in conversation during this event that will play a significant role in helping us expand mRNA’s reach, both scientifically and therapeutically.

Dr. Francois Vigneault, Co-Founder, President, and CEO at Shape Therapeutics joins Cell & Gene: The Podcast's Erin Harris to discuss how RNA technologies are shaping the future of gene therapy. They also discuss AI's role in gene therapy as well as how the CGT sector is benefiting from RNA, AI, and synthetic biology.
BioNTech’s Ben Muir shares a high-level overview of the LNP preclinical research advances that are the most exciting/promising today — while also reminding us of a few important caveats that accompany early-stage research.
This presentation aims to equip sponsors, researchers, and stakeholders with the tools to enhance trial resilience and ensure continuity in today’s unpredictable global landscape.
Hosted by Cell & Gene Collaborative Director Anna Rose Welch, ARW on RNA puts a creative spin on the emerging mRNA + RNA therapeutics industry. Here, in Episode 5, Welch dives into the separate — but strikingly similar — worlds of fly fishing and mRNA R&D. In particular, she explains how a fly fisherman’s strategies to catch a fish relate to the work of mRNA scientists as they strive to identify the most appropriate immunogenicity profiles for their mRNA vaccines or therapeutics.

![Single-Vendor CDMOs Bring Speed And Cost Savings To The Table]( "The Bioanalysis CRO Selection Checklist Every Sponsor Should Use Before Signing An MSA")
Choosing a CRO requires more than proposals. Assess reliability, automation, GLP rigor, scientific engagement, pricing clarity, and capacity to find partners who deliver defensible data on real timelines.
-
![GettyImages-1333253892-laboratory-scientist-regulatory-compliance]( "GLP Compliance In A Modern Lab: What Is Actually Required?")
GLP compliance isn’t binary. Real defensibility depends on rigorous QA, validated electronic systems, and operational maturity — not just a label.

![CGT-cro-GettyImages-2256752073]( "What Sponsors Get Wrong When Selecting A CRO")
Gene therapy immunogenicity requires platforms, judgment, and regulatory fluency beyond ADA norms. Relying on biologics criteria creates gaps; CGT expertise ensures reliable, interpretable results.
-
![cell-therapy-GettyImages-1494029118]( "Why CGT Programs Need A Different CRO Mindset")
Advanced therapies need bioanalysis partners built for complexity, not scale. CGT expertise, specialized platforms, and flexible timelines ensure dosing and safety data traditional CROs can’t support.
