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.

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.”

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.
ARTICLES, APP NOTES, CASE STUDIES, & WHITE PAPERS
-
Automated, closed cryo‑processing of leukapheresis preserves cell quality and functionality, enabling flexible, reproducible starting material for both autologous and allogeneic CAR‑T manufacturing.
-
Learn best practices for high-resolution analysis of IVT RNA using automated capillary electrophoresis. Improve accuracy and precision in quantifying critical quality attributes.
-
Advanced spare parts planning can reduce downtime. Learn why precise component specifications matter and how seemingly identical parts can differ significantly in quality, performance, and failure risk.
-
Freezing doesn’t ensure consistency. Standardized cryopreservation removes site‑to‑site variability, providing predictable starting materials and lowering scientific and operational risk.
-
Explore the necessary components of a smooth tech transfer for LNP-based drugs, including the variables that impact LNP formulation and the outsourcing strategies needed to avoid common pitfalls.
-
Explore considerations for starting mRNA manufacturing related to the following topics: DNA template, mRNA product - IVT, mRNA product - purification, LNP encapsulation, and fill-finish.
