Mapping the RNA Landscape to Strengthen Strategy for Next-Generation Circular & Self-Amplifying Therapeutics
8:30 am
- Establish a clear foundational understanding of RNA modality evolution from linear mRNA to circular and self-amplifying formats to guide early strategic platform selection
- Identify where circRNA and saRNA deliver meaningful scientific and clinical advantages to help teams prioritize programs with the highest translational potential
- Illustrate the structural, durability and immunological trade-offs across RNA formats in key areas such as cell therapy and immunotherapy to contextualize upcoming case studies
