On the 28–29th April 2026, Nucleic Acid Insights brought together a select Special Interest Group (SIG) of 36 leading experts from across the oligonucleotides community to address the sector's most pressing challenges around improving the efficiency and sustainability of oligos manufacturing. This invitation-only initiative, taking place under the Chatham House Rule, provides a trusted, collaborative space for open discussion and actionable problem-solving – driving meaningful change through expert insight, strategic thinking and shared commitment.
The Topic
The inefficiency and wastage associated with oligo synthesis is both economically and environmentally unsustainable. During the inaugural SIG meeting, participants identified practical strategies and optimal tools to reduce waste, streamline production, and establish a roadmap for efficient manufacturing across the sector.
