mRNA therapeutics are applicable to cancer immunotherapies, infectious diseases, and other indications that require protein replacement therapy or antibodies.
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.
PepGen, a Cambridge, MA-based biotech, is advancing oligonucleotide therapeutics with the goal of transforming the treatment of severe neuromuscular and neurologic diseases. SVP Head of Clinical Development Dr. Michelle Mellion explains PepGen's trial of PGN-EDO51, the company’s lead product candidate for the treatment of DMD patients whose mutations are amenable to an exon 51 skipping approach. She also explains how the delivery of oligonucleotide therapies differ from other techniques in genetic medicine, and much more.
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.
