The Case for Process Simplification in mRNA Manufacturing
Here, I wanted to share a few additional details from Parrella’s presentation about the efforts he and his team at Kernal Biologics made to improve their overall mRNA-LNP COGS. Though he emphasized the amount of opportunity that exists to improve our utilization of costly raw materials/reagents, as he revealed, there are also opportunities for process simplification.

Beyond Solid-Phase Synthesis: The Momentum of Oligonucleotide Manufacturing
Overall, there were three main takeaways I gleaned from our conversation that suggest the oligo sector, though more established than its mRNA cousin, is not comfortable with the status quo and is actively trying to grow beyond the limits of its current manufacturing paradigm. Here in part 1, we’ll start with my number one takeaway, which also comes equipped with a bit of history as to how we find ourselves at our current juncture.
