Discover how our advanced capabilities in Hopkinton, MA, are overcoming the challenges of large-scale RNA therapeutic manufacturing, enabling the efficient production of complex srRNA and mRNA therapies.
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.
Tune in as Roberta Duncan, VP of the mRNA program at Seqirus; Duke Human Vaccine Institute Associate Director of Upstream and Downstream Process Development Jason Dickens, Ph.D.; and Jin Zhou, Executive Director of Process Development for mRNA and Protein Biologics at Ultragenyx share supply chain and manufacturing capacity constraints in the face of the urgency to address COVID-19. This is an excerpt from the Bioprocess Online Live event - mRNA Manufacturing: Bright Future, Big Challenges.
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?
