FORMULATION VIDEOS
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 video, Russell Johnson, VP Formulation Research for RVAC Medicines, and Aalok Shah, Director of Formulation & Drug Delivery, Strand Therapeutics, unpack which learnings can be adapted from ASO-LNPs to mRNA/LNPs and from mRNA vaccines to mRNA therapeutics. They also touch upon which learnings cannot be neatly carried over from these previous success stories.
In this video, Russell Johnson, VP Formulation Research for RVAC Medicines, and Aalok Shah, Director of Formulation & Drug Delivery, Strand Therapeutics, share their thoughts on the scientific-research and CMC-related reasons that have made the lipid nanoparticle the “darling” of the delivery world for mRNA/RNA products today.
Three LNP experts share their thoughts on the incremental advancements they’d like to see the RNA-LNP space make in the next few years.
