Objectives:
The Global Lipid Consortium aims to advance research and innovation in the realm of lipids for mRNA-based applications, with a specific emphasis on the synthesis and physico-chemical characterization of new lipids for use in the development of mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics. The key objectives of the Consortium are as follows:
- Foster the exchange of scientific knowledge pertaining to the discovery and development of novel lipids.
- Deliberate on product development pathways for mRNA-based applications, focusing particularly on innovative lipid formulations.
- Explore the design of research studies to enhance understanding of novel lipids, including considerations such as stability, bio-availability, targeting, and bio-degradability. Evaluate the implications of these factors on the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of mRNA-based products.
- Discuss and propose novel manufacturing processes for mRNA-LNP formulations to optimize production efficiency.
- Develop normative documents, including a Target Product Profile, to provide guidance and expedite the development of mRNA-based vaccines, incorporating insights into novel lipid applications.
- Conduct assessments to determine whether the novel lipid structures under investigation within the consortium are already covered by intellectual property held by organizations not affiliated with the consortium.
