What Baby KJ Taught Us About Sustainable mRNA DevelopmentOf course, these conversations are rarely simple, and the learnings are multifaceted. In the following three-part series, I’ll share my 3 biggest takeaways from the discussion between Coller, Ahrens-Nicklas, and Strauss. Here in part 1, I’ll start by parsing out the learnings about drug development we can take away from the overall heroic efforts to dose Baby KJ.

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.

CLINICAL TRIALS VIDEOS
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.
Panelists Tiffany Lucas and Ulrike Jägle address an audience question about when and how to approach the regulatory agencies for mRNA process development. In addition to listing the different FDA and EMA meeting opportunities available to sponsors, Jägle reminds us of one critical best practices sponsors shouldn’t forget when approaching the agencies.
In this video, Russell Johnson, VP Formulation Research for RVAC Medicines, and Aalok Shah, Director of Formulation & Drug Delivery, Strand Therapeutics, share their thoughts on the scientific-research and CMC-related reasons that have made the lipid nanoparticle the “darling” of the delivery world for mRNA/RNA products today.
In part two of this webinar series, presenters focus on avoiding potential risks, such as unexpected budget changes and unplanned change orders, that could jeopardize the success of a clinical trial.

![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.
