    Bachem to host microspheres peptide delivery webinar

    news-releasesBachem AG
    January 14th 2021

    Bubendorf, Switzerland: –Peptide technology specialist Bachem AG is hosting a free online webinar on the emerging technologies of microspheres and nanoparticles for drug delivery of peptide-based active pharmaceutical ingredients.

    The one hour webinar ‘Microspheres and Nanoparticles for Peptide Delivery’ will take place on January 19, 2021, starting at 1800hrs CET (UTC +1:00). Registration is free of charge (see Resources).

    Microspheres and Nanoparticles for Peptide Delivery

    Use of microspheres and nanoparticles are innovative responses to a central challenge of delivering peptides into the human organism – that poor peptide stability toward proteolytic enzymes and large molecule size together make for poor penetration into cells.

    The webinar will explore how drug formulations based on microspheres and nanoparticles can encapsulate peptides for enhanced bioavailability and superior therapeutic efficacy.

    NCE specialists

    The session will be moderated by Dr. Chris McGee, Senior Director of Business Development for Bachem Americas, who has played a leading role in communicating latest advances relating to peptide- and oligonucleotide-based new chemical entities (NCEs).

    Scientific speaker will be Dr. Jyothi Thundimadathil, Associate Director at Bachem Americas Torrance facility, whose focus is NCE projects and CMC drug development covering peptides and related molecules.

    Emerging technologies

    The use of nanoparticles for delivering proteins and peptides are still in early stages of development and are rapidly maturing technologies. However, the online session will examine various case studies where microparticle formulation has been successfully applied in a number of commercial products containing peptides as APIs, where Bachem has been among the pioneers.

    The webinar will go on to explore potential future benefits and challenges of microspheres and nanoparticles for peptide delivery.
