Where Can Novel Nonviral Polymeric Delivery Agents Take Us?
Collaboration has always been an important part of scientific research and discovery, especially when you combine the resources of strategic partners in science, clinical, engineering and manufacturing.

BIO Convention Brings Optimism, Concerns
Timelines and Supply Chains Still Seen as Challenges
BIO International’s annual convention is one of the largest gatherings of biotechnology innovators in the world. The Aldevron team attending this year’s in-person gathering in San Diego observed that the past few years of COVID restrictions haven’t changed the high interest in our industry.

Unique Perspectives, Unique Opportunities
TIDES USA pivots to RNA technology
We often hear how interest in, and use of, RNA technology is growing because of the COVID-19 pandemic. One discussion at the TIDES USA conference had a unique perspective: how Moore’s Law may now apply to RNA technology.

Lessons Learned & Looking to the Future
Thoughts from the World Vaccine Congress
Managing the H1N1 outbreak in 2009 was considered a practice run for the recent SARS-CoV2 pandemic and, over the last two years, we certainly learned a great deal in being prepared for the next virus to gain a foothold. That was the backdrop as we returned to the World Vaccine Congress in Washington, DC.

Seeking Faster Paths to the Clinic
Need for speed emphasized at American Biomanufacturing Summit
The American Biomanufacturing Summit, held in San Francisco in April, is a senior-level event attracting over 200 biopharmaceutical executives sharing the latest information from the industry. One top item consistently discussed was how the expectations of speed have been dramatically changed after how quickly COVID-19 vaccines were developed and moved to market, most particularly the mRNA vaccines.

Webinar On Demand: mRNA/saRNA Manufacturing - Considerations to Accelerate the Path to Clinic
GEN webinar featuring Dr. Venkata Indurthi, Aldevron Chief Scientific Officer
Messenger RNA (mRNA) and self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) offer a unique opportunity for the development of novel therapeutics to treat a wide range of diseases. These modalities offer distinctive advantages over traditional therapies, from both biological and production standpoints. The success of RNA programs may depend heavily on the timeline to manufacture RNA molecules.
