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.
ARTICLES, APP NOTES, CASE STUDIES, & WHITE PAPERS
-
Freezing doesn’t ensure consistency. Standardized cryopreservation removes site‑to‑site variability, providing predictable starting materials and lowering scientific and operational risk.
-
Understand how Microfluidic Modulation Spectroscopy (MMS) provides early insights into RNA degradation within LNP formulations, offering a label-free approach to monitoring chemical integrity.
-
Gene therapies rely on efficient, precise methods of delivering genetic material. Examine how combining polymeric nanoparticles with CRISPR therapies is increasing the potential for improved treatment.
-
Encapsulated mRNA–LNP creation begins with synthesizing the DNA template. Explore insights on DNA template synthesis, the challenges and strategies of generating a DNA template using PCR, and more.
-
Targeted LNPs that bypass the liver and home to the spleen could reshape in vivo CAR T cell manufacturing. See the data behind the approach.
-
Downstream filtration can make or break LNPs at scale. See how membrane format, loading, and shear affect recovery and stability — and how alternative TFF lowers scale‑up risk.
-
Cryopreservation should be integrated across the entire supply chain to ensure traceability, reduce risk at handoffs, and support consistent, scalable therapy development and delivery.
