Revolutionizing The Development, Characterization, And Manufacturing Of Peptides

Erik Feldmann is Technical Director at Cambrex Durham, NC. He holds a B.S. in Chemistry from Butler University and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Miami University, and completed postdoctoral fellowships at Washington University School of Medicine and North Carolina State University. He is the author of 15 peer-reviewed papers.

With more than 12 years in the life sciences industry across biotech start-ups and CDMO organizations, he has held senior scientist, operational, and commercial roles. His expertise covers analytical chemistry and biochemistry, analytical method development and validation for IND, NDA, and BLA filings, and peptide characterization.

Developing methods for complex large molecules — proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides — presents no shortage of challenges, and Feldmann's answer to them begins outside the laboratory. Understanding the customer's goals first, he argues, is what allows a team to define the parameters of an experiment with any real precision.
