  • Picasso, Pick-Up Lines, & Personalized Medicine: mRNA's Path Forward

    Overall, my presentation on what the mRNA industry can learn from the artist Picasso singled out a few specific areas from which I felt our industry could garner greater inspiration and operational prowess. But given how “collaborative” many of these sources of inspiration are, I’ve introduced each of my takeaways with a surprisingly relevant (albeit bad) art-themed pick-up line. After all, if there’s one sector that knows it takes more than one to “tango,” it’s the mRNA industry.

  • Pictures At An [mRNA]Exhibition: What We Can Learn From Picasso (Pt. 1)

    In my presentation, I argued that there are three lessons we can learn from Picasso that will also help our own industry mature. In the upcoming weeks, I plan to unpack these lessons, highlighting specific instances in which I see our industry taking these lessons to heart and making progress — starting here with lesson 1: Being Innovative Comes After We Master The Basics

  • "Raiders Of The Lost Codon:" Alltrna On Evolving "Ancient" tRNA Into Therapeutics

    Here, in part one of this two-part article, we identify how tRNA stands apart from other RNA modalities and gene therapies, as well as how this molecule’s unique “skill set” is guiding the company’s future clinical strategy.

  • Learning From Oligos: Delivery & Clinical Strategies For mRNA Therapeutics

    Those of us who attended the Alliance for mRNA Medicines’ inaugural Ascent conference last fall had the opportunity to hear from Zdravka Medarova of TransCode Therapeutics on her experiences working in the oligo sector. Here, I summarize some of her learnings and/or suggestions for the encoding RNA field as we set out to develop mRNA therapeutics for oncology.

  • Cultivating A Thriving mRNA Ecosystem: Key Initiatives & Future Directions

    Overall, I felt that the following initiatives/talking points were demonstrative of the types of creativity and symbiosis that we will need much more of in the near and long-term to foster a healthy and fruitful RNA ecosystem. 

  • From Promise To Precision: Defining The Therapeutic Niche for mRNA

    CureVac CEO Alexander Zehnder shares his thoughts/visions on how mRNA neoantigen vaccines could become even more revolutionary for patient populations in the future. Though it may be early days, this conversation is a great case study for how RNA companies are striving to keep both scientific and commercial market opportunities top of mind from the earliest days of development.
