OUTSOURCING VIDEOS
Achieving cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining high quality standards today is one of the biggest challenges facing companies outsourcing mRNA/RNA development. In turn, panelists Qian Ruan, Andy Geall, and Alex Aust reflect on how and where they’ve seen the costs of mRNA-LNP manufacturing evolving/fluctuating in recent years.
Gain valuable insights into the role of sponsor-side Clinical Operations leadership, the risks of over-relying on CROs, and key strategies for fostering collaboration between sponsors and partners.
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.
Watch this presentation to equip stakeholders with actionable strategies and a comprehensive understanding of the evolving clinical trial management landscape in the context of ICH guidelines.
