“Worcester has a once in a generation opportunity to establish itself as a global #BiomanufacturingHub. Located less than an hour west of #Boston, the region has become a magnet for top #talent, has #land available, can offer a #lowercost of doing business, and is home to a multitude of #highereducation and #hospital institutions to support the #industry. Massachusetts is the global leader in #biotechnology #researchanddevelopment. Now is the time to capture the emerging #biomanufacturing market in the Central part of the state.” – Jon Weaver, President & CEO, MBI. MBI has just released a Regional Biomanufacturing Strategy which calls upon the Commonwealth to designate #CentralMA as a #BiomanufacturingHub and outlines specific programs and strategies that will allow Central MA to successfully compete for this emerging #industry.

We're passionate about the potential of siRNA therapeutics to revolutionize treatment strategies. Here are a few reasons why siRNA is making waves in the biotech world: Target Specificity 🎯 siRNA therapeutics can be designed to target specific mRNA sequences, ensuring high precision in gene silencing. This reduces the risk of off-target effects, making treatments more effective and safer. Broad Applicability 🌍 siRNA can be utilized to target virtually any gene associated with disease, providing a versatile platform for addressing a wide array of conditions, from genetic disorders to viral infections and cancers. Rapid Development Cycle ⏳ The design and synthesis of siRNA molecules can be accomplished relatively quickly compared to traditional drug development. This allows for faster progression from discovery to clinical application. Reduced Immune Response 🔬 siRNA molecules are typically less likely to provoke an immune response compared to protein-based therapies. This reduces potential side effects and improves patient tolerance. Reversible Effects 🔄 Unlike some gene-editing technologies, the effects of siRNA are reversible, as the RNA interference is temporary. This offers a safety advantage, allowing for cessation of treatment if adverse effects occur. Non-viral Delivery 🚀 siRNA can be delivered using non-viral methods, such as lipid nanoparticles, which are generally safer and easier to produce at scale compared to viral vectors used in gene therapy. Scalability 📈 The production of siRNA is more straightforward and scalable than complex biologics, allowing for easier manufacturing and lower costs in large-scale production. At Advirna, we specialize in custom designing and screening potent and targeted siRNAs. Whether you're looking to develop new treatments or enhance existing ones, our team is here to help. Contact us today to learn how we can support your next breakthrough: https://lnkd.in/erNW4Aer #siRNA #Biotech #Therapeutics #Innovation #ADViRNA
