  • Is mRNA Manufacturing Overbuilt?

    mRNA pipelines continue to advance, but has provider growth outpaced the pipeline? Let's take a closer look.

  • What Oligo Manufacturing Risks Are We Underestimating?

    Earlier this year, I attended the OPT Congress, where I had the great fortune of meeting consultant Marc Lemaitre. I recently sat down with Lemaitre for a follow-up interview to gauge some of the evolutions he’s been watching within the CMC landscape for oligo development. Here, he digs into the shifts in quality he’s noted, pointing out some of the potential pitfalls we may encounter in our manufacturing that could stand to impact the overall quality of our oligos. 

  • RNA Oligonucleotide Synthesis: How Advanced Manufacturing Technologies Are Accelerating Innovation

    From a tech perspective, the manufacturing objective is shifting toward integrated process optimization. Automated reaction control, multivariate analytics, and more can connect molecular quality with operational performance. 

  • What Baby KJ Taught Us About mRNA COGS

    Here, in part 2 of this three-part series, I share a few details that came to light about the COGS behind Baby KJ’s therapy production. Obviously, we know why it’s important to keep these figures in mind as we move forward; but I particularly liked Strauss’ reminder that it’s our job to “think systematically about how we’re going to create a safety net of sustainable, accessible product that can be widely distributed at an affordable cost.”

  • Analytical Platforms: The Foundation Of The Next Generation Of RNA Therapeutics

    RNA therapeutics are entering a new era where analytical platforms drive scalability, regulatory confidence, manufacturing flexibility, and the development of increasingly complex products.

  • A New Purification Strategy For The Removal Of dsRNA Impurities From IVT mRNA Products

    NIST research introduces a gentle SEC method that separates dsRNA impurities from IVT mRNA by tweaking buffer pH, achieving 81.8% target recovery without transcript damage.

MANUFACTURING VIDEOS

As both Advancing RNA Live speakers point out in this segment, the MHRA guidance focuses deeply on the critical role bioinformatics and AI/ML approaches will play in the development of personalized immunotherapies. Here, Eliquent Life Sciences’ Tiffany Lucas and CureVac’s Ulrike Jägle address the biggest challenges they anticipate companies will face in meeting the agencies’ recommendations.

This webinar explores mitigating the risk of product loss, and production delays, as well as the critical role rapid sterility testing plays in ensuring the quality and safety of cell therapy products.

Introducing Bio4C ProcessPad™ Software, part of the BioContinuum™ Platform.

Speaking of outsourcing, Akhilesh Bhambhani, Sr. Director, Biologics Drug Product Development at Ultragenyx Pharmaceuticals and Roberta Duncan, VP and mRNA Program Lead at Seqirus share what they’re manufacturing in house, what they’re outsourcing, and why in this segment from our recent CMC, Scale Up, & The Road To mRNA Regulatory Approval event.
