The Scientific Underpinnings Of mRNA/LNPs

How and why did LNPs become the delivery vehicle of choice for mRNA?

The rapid development, scale-up, and successful commercialization of mRNA vaccines served as a great case study on the important role mRNA/RNA therapeutics can play in society. However, for those striving to develop next-gen RNA therapeutics, achieving more specifically targeted non-viral delivery is a large hurdle to broadening these therapeutics’ applicability, durability, and effectiveness. 

On October 4, 2022 Bioprocess Online Live hosted a panel discussion digging into the scientific-, development-, and business-related advancements that will enable the RNA therapeutics industry to meet the needs of a broader array of patient populations.

In this segment, Russell Johnson, VP Formulation Research for RVAC Medicines, and Aalok Shah, Director of Formulation & Drug Delivery, Strand Therapeutics, share their thoughts on the scientific-research and CMC-related reasons that have made the lipid nanoparticle the “darling” of the delivery world for mRNA/RNA products today.
