  • Protecting The Platform: Trade Secret Protection For RNA Biotech Companies

    As RNA therapeutics grow more complex and collaborative, trade secrets are becoming an increasingly important part of protecting valuable platform innovation.

  • Engineering RNA Agonists For Systemic Immunity Without Systemic Toxicity

    Krieg believes the answer lies in a deeper understanding of innate immune biology and the design of RNA/DNA hybrid mimics of viral RNA and DNA that are detected by innate immune receptors.

  • 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.”

It goes without saying that achieving cell-specific delivery is the most often discussed challenge facing the RNA-LNP field near- and long-term. However, as these three LNP experts share in this Advancing RNA Live clip, they have a whole list of additional R&D and CMC priorities we must address/accomplish to improve RNA-LNPs’ efficacy in personalized and gene therapy approaches.

Discover how impinging jet mixing combined with automation and data-driven optimization offers a more systematic path to identifying process parameters for scalable, reproducible LNP manufacturing.

Hosted by Cell & Gene Collaborative's Director Anna Rose Welch, ARW on RNA puts a creative spin on the emerging mRNA + RNA therapeutics industry. Here, in Episode 2, Welch outlines how The Game of RISK can serve as a great example for the mRNA therapeutics industry in its long-term quest to standardize the mRNA drug product manufacturing paradigm.

Advancements in single-use technologies are transforming antibody-drug conjugate manufacturing and offering increased flexibility. Examine key data, design considerations, operational benefits, and applications in ADC production.
