Day-in and day-out, I write, read, listen to, and watch as much content as I can about CGT and RNA therapy manufacturing, in particular, and/or other ATMP industry-related topics that you should at least be aware of in the manufacturing facility. Every two weeks, I compile the articles and industry updates I think are most worthy of your time into an unconventional newsletter format (below) and send them out via email.

Hosted by Cell & Gene Collaborative Director Anna Rose Welch, ARW on RNA puts a creative spin on the emerging mRNA + RNA therapeutics industry. Here, in Episode 5, Welch dives into the separate — but strikingly similar — worlds of fly fishing and mRNA R&D. In particular, she explains how a fly fisherman’s strategies to catch a fish relate to the work of mRNA scientists as they strive to identify the most appropriate immunogenicity profiles for their mRNA vaccines or therapeutics.
