Implementing the FAIR data principles is now a critical endeavour

29 June 2021 | By ,

With companies acknowledging the value of their data, it becomes increasingly important that data integrity be assured – and data stewardship implemented. In this article, Ian Harrow and Thomas Liener, Consultant Project Managers at The Pistoia Alliance explain the importance of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles, factors…

What are the challenges in developing and delivering lipid nanoparticle mRNA-based vaccines?

29 June 2021 | By ,

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the emergence of RNA vaccine technology has enabled rapid development of critical vaccines. Traditional vaccine production methods makerapid development challenging, requiring cell line production of viral proteins and laborious purification development, which requires extensive effort and long timelines. RNA…

O-glycan analysis of therapeutic proteins enabled by O-glycoprotease

29 June 2021 | By , ,

Glycosylation of therapeutic proteins is important to biologic drug development and is a critical quality attribute that is monitored during manufacturing. Analysis of O-glycans is technically challenging compared to that of N-glycans. In this review, Xiaofeng Shi, Saulius Vainauskas and Christopher H Taron summarise current O-glycan analytical approaches, describe the…

VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Emerging tools for the analysis of biologics and biosimilars

28 June 2021 | By

In this virtual roundtable, Scott Bradley (Principal Research Scientist, Eli Lilly and Company), Joan Malmstrøm (Principal Scientist, Novo Nordisk) and Kelly Sackett (Principal Scientist, Pfizer) exemplified how high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a key technology that provides critical information about protein structure and dynamics. Here, the participants offer some…
