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.
Nutcracker Therapeutics is a preclinical biopharma company developing multimodal RNA-based therapeutics for HPV-driven tumors, T-cell lymphoma, and Genitourinary tumors. On this episode of the Business of Biotech, Chief Business Officer Geoff Nosrati, Ph.D. offers a comprehensive view of the RNA-based therapeutics landscape and sheds light on what he perceives as an advantageous position at Nutcracker — the capacity to manufacture RNA in-house. If you're curious about the expanding science behind RNA-based therapeutics and their application in biotech, this conversation with a scientist-turned-chief business officer (Nosrati earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) is a can't-miss episode.
Developing a client-sponsored Target Product Profile (TPP) and Analytical Target Profile (ATP) is critical to move your drug product to clinic efficiently and meet acceptance criteria.
Discover how the clinical research bridge between China and the US supports accelerated clinical development from early to late phase trials while ensuring the inclusion of MRCT data packages in future regulatory applications.

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 Compliant Actually Requires In 2025")
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.
