FORMULATION VIDEOS
In this clip, Sanofi’s Greg Troiano kickstarts our discussion on some of the advances he’s seen in the supply chain for linear mRNA-LNP products, both in terms of supply availability and supplier capability.
Achieving cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining high quality standards today is one of the biggest challenges facing companies outsourcing mRNA/RNA development. In turn, panelists Qian Ruan, Andy Geall, and Alex Aust reflect on how and where they’ve seen the costs of mRNA-LNP manufacturing evolving/fluctuating in recent years.
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, NanoVation’s Dominik Witzigmann and Stealth Co’s John Zuris break down the scientific advancements we’re seeing for each of an LNP’s components (i.e., the ionizable lipid, helper lipid, and PEG), albeit with the caveat that, with these advancements, Freedom to Operate (FTO) continues to grow increasingly complicated.
While the speed of production and flexibility of mRNA are appealing, several industry challenges must still be addressed to realize the full potential and further expand its use.
