Explore the behind-the-scenes best practices of the company implemented that led to the approval of the world’s first saRNA vaccine in Japan.
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.
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.
Among the more prevalent genetic conditions, Duchenne muscular dystrophy affects an estimated one in 3,500 male births worldwide. It's caused by mutations of the DMD gene, which regulates the production of a protein called dystrophin. Approved DMD treatments haven't demonstrated strong clinical outcomes, but James McArthur, Ph.D. and his team at PepGen are seeking to change that with a pipeline of disease-modifying peptide-conjugated oligonucleotide candidates derived from the company's Enhanced Delivery Oligonucleotide platform. The Business of Biotech caught up with Dr. McArthur at PepGen's Cambridge headquarters to learn more.

![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.
