Session Title: Guiding RNA formulations from laboratory research to the market – Lessons learned from development and optimization of LNP/liposome formulations.
RNA-based therapeutics, which function by either silencing pathological genes through delivery of siRNA or expressing therapeutic proteins through the delivery of exogenous mRNA to cells, hold great potential for the treatment of various diseases, like Covid-19 related diseases. However, mRNA molecules are large, fragile and easily degrade.
