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.
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.
In this snippet, panelist Alex Aust (with the help of several live attendee commenters) tackles a particularly tricky question: Are our outsourcing partnerships producing high quality products today, and what are the most common root causes of batch failures?
