Webinar: How a Sponsored CMC Platform Accelerates mRNA Projects into the Clinic

Streamlining development, ensuring quality and safety

When discussing mRNA development, the complexity across a variety of modalities can give pause to how the projects should be approached and developed. With that in mind, Jon Cooper, Ph.D., Senior Director of RNA Sciences & Analytical Development recently presented, How a Sponsored CMC Platform Accelerates mRNA Projects into the Clinic, in this webinar and recently at the mRNA Analytical Development Summit in Boston, to provide an outline of an effective development process.

Why Apply ISO 13485 Principles in a Protein Manufacturing Facility?

A stepping-stone in ongoing quality improvement

The ISO 13485 standard covers the quality management system (QMS) requirements for medical devices (like CT scanners, blood perfusion pumps, diagnostic IVD tests) including requirements for regulatory purposes. Certification is granted by a third-party registrar through an annual audit process with renewal every three years. Unlike global medical device governmental regulations, the ISO 13485 standard is the same whether you are manufacturing in Italy, Africa or the United States.
