Beyond The Gold Standard(s): Modernizing Oligonucleotide Synthesis
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to sit down with OPT Congress speaker Phil Baran, Richard Lerner Chair Professor, Department of Chemistry, Scripps Research. Baran was slated to (and did) present a keynote on the innovations shaping the next generation of oligo synthesis. Here, I share the biggest takeaways I had from our conversation, touching on how he sees the science of oligo chemistry and manufacturing advancing in the near and far future.

-
Describing the pore of a size exclusion chromatography resin with a single number such as average pore diameter is an oversimplification. The formation of pores is dependent on complex combinations of many parameters.
-
The transfer of mAb production processes between scales is difficult. In this study, we leveraged existing physical characterization data and scaled a process from microbioreactor to production scale.
-
Researchers demonstrate a delivery mechanism that is a simple and ready-to-use transfection reagent that leads to outstanding transfection efficiencies in known hard-to-transfect stem cells.
-
We demonstrate an automated, compliance-ready liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) workflow for sequence confirmation of oligonucleotides and their impurities.
-
Sterility in injectable drug manufacturing is vital for patient safety and efficiency. Discover how biofluorescent particle counters revolutionize contamination control, regulatory compliance, and operational excellence in modern pharma.
