Interactive panel: Unique rapid production opportunities and challenges that face RNA delivery and manufacture

  • Why and where will it make a difference?
  • How is it difference to DNA vaccines?
  • What are the unique challenges and advantages of RNA vaccine?
  • How will RNA vaccines help in an outbreak like corona? Can the scale-up/volume be big enough?
  • Advantages of RNA are clearly from the speed and applicability to ID and cancer, but does the speed have any affect on the overall quality of the vaccine?
