Leading Peptides expert to discuss Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spetrometry in drug development and delivery.

Jörgen Kjellgren Sjögren, Senior Research Scientist at Ferring Pharmaceuticals, has joined the expert speaker lineup for SMi Group’s 4th Peptides Event in July.

With over 15 years of expertise in peptides, Jörgen will bring insights into using Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spetrometry as a key technique to understanding the fate of impurities using examples from Ferring's synthetic therapeutic peptide portfolio.

In the lead to the event, the SMi Group spoke to Jörgen to get his perspective on the current peptides landscape in relation to his presentation.

"Today it is very important to have complete understanding of the synthesis and fate of impurities, from starting material to final drug substance (API) to be able to make safe drugs for the patient, make robust processes, and of course, to get authority approval of our new drug products

The take home message is that LC-MS/MS is necessary in the field of making pharmaceuticals from synthetic peptides, which most people are aware of today. I will show with several examples that LC-MS is a key instrument in understanding the fate of impurities during the whole process of making a drug, from starting material to final drug product. I hope that I can convince people, if they not already are doing it, that investing time in fate of impurities study will be a help in developing more robust processes and safer drugs for the patients. It has also been very important to have this knowledge when answering questions from authorities. Another thing I would like people to get from my presentation is that separation”
