The Early Advantage for mRNA: From ideation to in vivo application – with Lonza mRNA Research Services
With our new mRNA Research Services offer you can come to us with just the protein that you want to encode as mRNA.
An end-to-end offering: From pre-clinical to clinical development through to commercialization
Once you have nominated your lead compound for development, we support you with CMC activities throughout the full lifecycle of your lead candidate. Our end-to-end CMC services enable you to focus on your core activities in non-clinical and clinical development, while we deliver the required material with the essential quality.
Utilize our experts to resolve your challenges
Manufacturing a successful mRNA formulation requires seamless integration of multiple elements. It requires a smart choice and a reliable sourcing strategy for the DNA template, a stable and efficient mRNA in vitro transcription process with a smart capping approach, a stable encapsulation of mRNA in lipid nanoparticles (LNP), as well as a reliable partner for the sterile filling of vials. Lonza has the capabilities to bring all these processes together with extensive experience in managing complex manufacturing set-ups and supply chains. We provide this for mRNA/LNP manufacturing in one network at cGMP quality.
New Offering
Next generation encapsulation of nucleic acids with FDmiX
FDmiX, which was developed by FDX Fluid Dynamix and Fraunhofer IPK, utilizes a unique oscillating flow. This technology results not only in considerable process advantages (e.g. fast processing times) but also in high stability and homogeneity of LNPs, while maintaining favorable Critical Quality Attributes.
