A New Space Race: Reclaiming Efficiency In The mRNA IndustryIt goes without saying that efficiency in drug development is tantamount — especially when it comes to getting much-needed clinical data. So, when I asked Allan Shaw about the ongoing trends he anticipates seeing more of in 2026, he immediately pointed to the increasing prominence of overseas development, particularly in nations like Australia and China.

Money In The Bank: Why 2025's Setbacks Were The Foundation RNA NeededI saw 2025 as a year that was foundational for our efforts to learn more about the biology and function of our products. However, there were two developments in particular that, to me, encapsulated the trials, tribulations, and ultimately the success of an industry that is doing its damnedest to answer one of the biggest questions facing us: “Why RNA?”

Overcoming CMC Challenges In The Development Of Conjugated LNP Platforms For In Vivo CAR-T TherapyOvercoming CMC hurdles is key to advancing conjugated LNP platforms for in vivo CAR-T therapy, enabling scalable, precise mRNA delivery to T cells while maintaining stability, potency, and regulatory compliance.
CLINICAL TRIALS VIDEOS
It goes without saying that achieving cell-specific delivery is the most often discussed challenge facing the RNA-LNP field near- and long-term. However, as these three LNP experts share in this Advancing RNA Live clip, they have a whole list of additional R&D and CMC priorities we must address/accomplish to improve RNA-LNPs’ efficacy in personalized and gene therapy approaches.
Hear from a panel of industry experts on dissecting the shift in early-phase oncology design, focusing on Bayesian Data.
The Advancing RNA Live panelists share several inconsistencies they’ve encountered working with global regulators, as well as on which aspects they’re seeing regulatory agencies applying greater scrutiny in mRNA development today.
Three LNP experts from Sanofi, Hopewell Therapeutics, and BioNTech collectively discuss how far we’ve come in understanding the structure of our LNPs while also shedding light on the variables that have the greatest potential of causing shifts in our products’ structure/function.

![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.

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.
