From Baby KJ To Global Access: The 3 Pillars Of Next-Gen mRNA Expansion
Obviously, 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.

Reprogramming The Tumor Microenvironment: Why RNA Immunotherapy Is Targeting Liver Metastases (Pt. 1)
RNA/DNA immunotherapy may overcome liver metastases by reprogramming innate immunity, restoring interferon signaling, and improving responses to checkpoint inhibitors.
ARTICLES, APP NOTES, CASE STUDIES, & WHITE PAPERS
-
One main mRNA technology challenge is the formulation of delivery systems like lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Learn about evading impurities in lipids, the future of mRNA-based genomic medicines, and more.
-
The production of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) is a process that demands robustness, scalability, and reproducibility. Examine the impact of key operational parameters on the efficacy of LNPs.
-
Manual LNP formulation introduces process variability that threatens particle quality and yield. As programs scale toward clinical production, maintaining strict control over CQAs becomes essential.
-
Explore results from a study screening novel LNP formulations for physicochemical attributes, in vitro potency, and in vivo immunogenicity in both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza vaccine applications.
-
Explore ongoing work to harness different types of HDR templates in order to build cutting-edge systems with the potential to enable point-of-care cell and gene therapy manufacture.
-
Fragmented pre‑clinical supply chains create avoidable delays and risks; unifying cryopreservation, logistics, and storage early improves consistency, reduces operational gaps, and supports smoother progression into clinical phases.
