The swift development and deployment of messenger-RNA (mRNA) vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the COVID-19 crisis has catapulted the pharmaceuticals industry into a new paradigm. Used in the COVID-19 vaccines, LNPs have shown a promising track record of protecting the mRNA cargo from degradation. Does it degrade?
An important feature of the test that contributes to its reduced cost is the fact that sample processing does not require a separate nucleic acid (RNA) extraction step. This is significant because shortages of RNA extraction kits have been a recurrent issue since the beginning of the pandemic.
The Challenge: The demands of many labs simultaneously beginning COVID-19 screening programs are leading to a scarcity of resources like pipette tips and reagents. delays where reagents are in. Biogazelle, an innovative bioanalytical services company offering RNA and. effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccine continues to attract.
The success of COVID-19 vaccines paved the path for mRNA-based drug products. Given such technical and operational challenges associated with the production of RNA-based products, innovators in the biopharmaceutical industry are increasingly relying on the contract manufacturing service providers to cater to the urgent global demand.
Presently, more than 195 mRNA therapeutics / mRNA vaccines are under development or commercialized for the treatment of a variety of indications. In addition to this, more than 95 mRNA synthesis kits, that contain reagents for the synthesis of research grade mRNAs, are currently available in the market.
Dr Jennifer Harbottle, senior scientist in the R&D Base Editing team of PerkinElmer’s Horizon Discovery business, looks at progress made in the realms of biotechnology and next-generation diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics, including the application of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in developing and refining cell therapies.
Biomanufacturing utilizing cell free systems is an emerging area of research that enables the synthesis of different biomolecules, such as cytotoxic proteins, fusion proteins, post translationally modified proteins, antibodies, enzymes, vaccines and other complex proteins, without the use of living cells.
From leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline diagnostics and treatments to exploring the untapped potential of RNA-based therapeutics, biotechnology is shaping the future of healthcare and beyond. As of January 31, 2024, approximately 131 unique RNA-based therapies are in clinical development across various therapeutic areas.
