Beyond The Gold Standard(s): Modernizing Oligonucleotide SynthesisA 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.

The RNA Ties That Bind: 3 Takeaways From The OPT CongressHere, I unpack three takeaways I had from the OPT Congress, each of which I’d argue are indicative of the interconnectedness across the genetic medicines field.
MANUFACTURING VIDEOS
Early‑stage engineering shapes reliable, user‑focused systems. See how an electrical engineer refines concepts, tests new ideas, and aligns each design update with the practical needs of the team.
Can we actually achieve metric-ton siRNA production today using enzymatic ligation? While the ligation step is highly scalable, upstream "blockmer" synthesis remains the primary bottleneck. Advancing RNA Live panelists Claire McCleod and Jill Caswell discuss the shift from "scaling out" to "scaling up" and lessons learned in the process of achieving larger scale production.
In this video, Russell Johnson, VP Formulation Research for RVAC Medicines, and Aalok Shah, Director of Formulation & Drug Delivery, Strand Therapeutics, discuss what industry challenges should be top of mind for experts as it relates to the regulatory paradigm, toxicity/safety, and in vivo modeling.

As the demand for plasmid DNA (pDNA) based gene therapy and vaccines increases, large-scale, cost-effective, and reproducible pDNA production is required. The key to success is a real-time in-process control method that ensures a high percentage of supercoiled pDNA in the final product. Read how the CIMac™ pDNA Analytical Column allows the monitoring of degradation products (open circular and linear pDNA), the removal of impurities (RNA), and ensures that each production step yields the amount of supercoiled pDNA anticipated.
