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.

Capstan Therapeutics' CEO, Laura Shawver, Ph.D., talks us through the company's in vivo CAR therapies and what led to the in vivo cell engineering breakthrough that has been decades in the making. Shawver explains the promise of harnessing mRNA and targeted LNP delivery to train a patient’s body to make CAR-T cells in vivo. She also details best practices to garner funding and investment partnership.
It goes without saying that achieving cell-specific delivery is the most often discussed challenge facing the RNA-LNP field near- and long-term. However, as these three LNP experts share in this Advancing RNA Live clip, they have a whole list of additional R&D and CMC priorities we must address/accomplish to improve RNA-LNPs’ efficacy in personalized and gene therapy approaches.
Hosted by Cell & Gene Collaborative's Director Anna Rose Welch, ARW on RNA puts a creative spin on the emerging mRNA + RNA therapeutics industry. Here, in Episode 4, Welch explores the parallels that exist between the oft-overlooked history of Michelangelo's David and the mRNA therapeutics sector's own R&D history, as well as where the mRNA space hopes to move in the future.
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, BioNTech’s Ben Muir and Hopewell Therapeutics’ Kate Zhang share their perspectives on the most exciting novel screening methods, innovative preclinical models, and next-gen technologies they hope can/will eventually help us bridge the translation gap between preclinical models and the clinic.
