mRNA Design & Optimization Method mRNA Design & Optimization Method

Why You Need Advanced mRNA Design & Optimization

Developing therapeutic-grade mRNA is far more complex than assembling a coding sequence.

Most mRNA constructs fail to achieve optimal expression, stability, or manufacturability due to poor UTR design, unfavorable secondary structures, high innate immunogenicity, or low IVT productivity. These issues can significantly delay R&D timelines, increase development costs, and compromise downstream manufacturability for preclinical or GMP production.

Common challenges include:

Insufficient protein expression resulting from suboptimal UTR/ORF architecture

Instability and rapid degradation in vivo, limiting therapeutic duration

High innate immune activation, reducing tolerability and editing/therapeutic efficiency

Secondary structure bottlenecks that impair translation initiation

Poor manufacturability with low IVT yield or high dsRNA impurities

Difficulties transitioning into CDMO/GMP workflows due to non-scalable sequence designs

A robust mRNA design and optimization strategy ensures that your therapeutic candidates are built on a strong scientific foundation—highly expressible, stable, safe, scalable, and ready for development.
