A New Era for Medicine: Quotient Sciences and CPI Unite to Propel RNA Therapeutics to Patients Faster

The landscape of modern medicine is on the cusp of a profound transformation, driven by the remarkable potential of RNA-based therapeutics. Today marks a significant milestone in this journey, as two titans in drug development – Quotient Sciences, a powerhouse in drug development and manufacturing acceleration, and CPI, a leading deep technology innovation organization and a founding member of the UK’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult – announce a groundbreaking joint venture.

This strategic alliance is poised to dramatically accelerate the development and delivery of RNA-based medicines, promising to bring life-changing treatments to patients faster than ever before.

RNA therapeutics, encompassing modalities like mRNA, siRNA, and ASOs, represent a rapidly evolving frontier with the capacity to address a vast spectrum of diseases, from persistent infectious diseases and aggressive cancers to rare genetic disorders.

However, the path to bringing these innovative treatments to market has historically been fraught with intricate challenges. Issues surrounding the stability of RNA molecules, efficient delivery mechanisms within the body, and the complexities of scalable manufacturing have often presented formidable hurdles for developers.

This newly formed partnership is meticulously designed to dismantle these barriers.

By synergizing Quotient Sciences’ unparalleled expertise in integrated drug development – spanning formulation, manufacturing, and crucial clinical testing – with CPI’s deep, cutting-edge experience in novel RNA manufacturing and sophisticated process development, the joint venture offers an unprecedented, end-to-end solution.

This comprehensive support system will guide companies through every critical stage, from the nascent phases of discovery and preclinical development all the way through pivotal clinical trials and efficient commercial-scale manufacturing.

A spokesperson from Quotient Sciences articulated the profound excitement surrounding this collaboration: "We are incredibly enthusiastic about this partnership with CPI.

RNA therapeutics hold immense promise for the future of health, yet their journey to market can be exceptionally complex. By seamlessly integrating our capabilities in integrated drug development with CPI’s pioneering RNA manufacturing expertise, we can fundamentally de-risk and significantly compress the development timelines for our clients.

Ultimately, this means accelerating the availability of transformative medicines for patients who desperately need them."

Echoing this sentiment, a representative from CPI added: "This collaboration signifies a monumental leap forward in our steadfast mission to accelerate the commercialization of truly innovative medicines.

Quotient Sciences’ proven and robust track record in integrated drug development perfectly complements our core strengths in RNA process innovation. Together, we are establishing an extraordinarily powerful platform that will empower companies to skillfully navigate the intricate complexities of RNA drug development and scale up production with unparalleled efficiency and speed."

The joint venture’s expansive scope will cater to a diverse array of RNA modalities and will be readily accessible to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across the globe.

By pooling their collective knowledge, resources, and state-of-the-art technologies, Quotient Sciences and CPI are set to usher in a new paradigm in drug development. This alliance is not just about bringing drugs to market; it's about pioneering a more efficient, cost-effective, and ultimately faster pathway to deliver on the profound promise of RNA therapeutics, ensuring that revolutionary treatments can reach patients worldwide without undue delay.
