Money In The Bank: Why 2025's Setbacks Were The Foundation RNA NeededI saw 2025 as a year that was foundational for our efforts to learn more about the biology and function of our products. However, there were two developments in particular that, to me, encapsulated the trials, tribulations, and ultimately the success of an industry that is doing its damnedest to answer one of the biggest questions facing us: “Why RNA?”

![GettyImages-1054148730-clinical-outsourcing-partner-FSP]( "Price Matters - Why Dash Believes In Transparency")
Opaque pricing slows decisions and erodes trust. Transparency clarifies cost drivers, improves budgeting, enables confident sourcing, and strengthens long-term R&D partnerships.

![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 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.
-
![bioanalysis-CRO-GettyImages-2257695920]( "Transparent Pricing In Bioanalysis: A Feature, Not A Bonus")
Unclear CRO pricing leaves small biotechs vulnerable to budget swings. Transparent, itemized costs cut financial risk, sharpen planning, and build trust by setting expectations from the start.
