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.

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.
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.
In this episode of the Cell & Gene podcast, Host Erin Harris speaks with Alicia Zhou, Ph.D., CEO of the Cancer Research Institute (CRI), about CRI’s mission to advance cancer immunotherapy and the critical role of federal funding, particularly from the NIH, in supporting basic and translational cancer research.
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.

![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.
