There are many different criteria for selecting a CDMO for your mRNA products. Arcturus’ Qian Ruan explains that a product’s stage of development and the specific needs inherent to that phase of development should be an important guide for companies today, especially given the expansion of the outsourcing sector and the wide range of capabilities.
Advancing RNA panelists Alex Aust, Qian Ruan, and Andy Geal share their thoughts on the ways in which outsourcing firms are approaching mRNA development today, as well as why outsourcing — as opposed to building a GMP facility — remains critical for (x)RNA biotechs today.
Discover how advanced mRNA manufacturing innovations, including optimized RNA synthesis and scalable LNP encapsulation, are accelerating therapeutic development.
A connected development pathway supports smoother scale-up and greater consistency for LNP-based therapeutics. Explore how integrated expertise across key stages helps teams accelerate progress.
