Review of mRNA Vaccines & Therapeutics Manufacturing Challenges – Part 1 - Plasmid DNA Manufacturing
Although messenger RNA (mRNA) based therapeutics have been explored for over two decades, none have reached commercialization until the first SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines were developed and launched in less than 12 months by BioNtech / Pfizer and Moderna. This acceleration is due to technological advancements in RNA biology, chemistry, stability, and improved delivery system. Going forward, mRNA technology will not only help the development of other vaccines for infectious diseases, but also address non-viral gene and cell therapy applications for diseases with unmet needs.
