Innovation insights: An analysis of the evolving landscape of nucleic acid-based therapeutics

In recent years we have seen rapid evolution of nucleic acid-based therapeutics and vaccines. Is this evolution leading to the formation of a new technology toolbox? Can this toolbox leverage desired characteristics across a range of molecule types, based on therapeutic need? How do we consider the implications of modalities that stretch from truly personalized medicines through to global vaccine initiatives? In this presentation we will review current scientific research and analyze how this impacts upon the industrialization of flexible manufacturing.
