Standalone talk
RNA Synthesis Using Ligation for Improved Scalability and Reduced Manufacturing Cost
In this 20-minute presentation Stefan Lutz, Ph.D., SVP of Research will discuss
- Discuss siRNA synthesis by assembly of multiple short, single-stranded RNA fragments into the desired double-stranded RNA duplex using ligation
-
Compare various ligation approaches with a particular focus on substrate design. In combination with double-stranded RNA ligase engineering and protocol optimization, such integrated process development can increase target drug substance yield and reduce manufacturing costs
-
Process performance will be demonstrated on the synthesis of a commercially approved siRNA asset
About the speaker
Dr. Stefan Lutz joined Codexis in 2020 as the Senior Vice President of Research to lead the company’s research team advancing the technology platform, as well as the discovery and engineering of novel enzymes for the Life Sciences and Pharma Manufacturing markets.
