Speakers:


Addressing the Challenges in Developing a Control Strategy for Therapeutic Oligonucleotides
9:00-9:30 am, with Mike Webb

Oligonucleotides require a control strategy which presents significant analytical challenges. We will discuss how to address accurate and reproducible impurity control and the best approaches for reproducible impurity separation and quantitation, as well as product purity. We will also cover the determination of the consistency of the diastereomeric ratio of phosphorothioated oligonucleotides.

Take the Wheel and Drive Your Oligo Synthesis Where You Want
9:30-10:15 am, with Carina Strand

In this presentation you will: 

  1.  Learn about the oligonucleotide therapeutic market & oligo therapeutics in development 
  2. Gain insight on challenges you may face when bringing your process in-house and key considerations to address those challenges 
  3. Think of the future first with scale-up manufacturing at the top of your mind.

Your ÄKTA Oligosynt™ System: It’s More Than a Machine
11:00-11:35 am, with Peter Guterstam

In this presentation you will: 

  1. Learn about the complete oligo workflow from Cytiva
  2. Find out what reagents (particularly oligo workflow reagents) are available and how these are optimized for use on Cytiva synthesis systems
  3. Understand how early workflow considerations can impact future manufacturing

Quality Control/Process Development/Manufacturing of Oligonucleotide API(DS)
11:35-12:05 pm, with Alex Xu

Reviewing of oligonucleotide drugs (ASO, siRNA, Aptamer, miRNA, sgRNA, etc.) including catalog, drugable advantage and current market reality, this presentation will focus on the challenge of oligo production in the terms of analytical development and qualification/validation, impurities analysis and control, and quality control of long oligonucleotide production, and introduction of Veliter with one-stop oligo CDMO solutions from preclinical to commercial.

Bio: Carina joined Cytiva in 2010 as a product manager responsible for oligonucleotide synthesizers. She was recruited from AstraZeneca where she had spent her time as a formulation scientist, managing different projects as well as being quality assurance officer in a multipurpose facility. She holds a MSc degree in analytical chemistry.

Peter Guterstam, Senior Global Product Manager, Cytiva

Bio: Peter Guterstam is Product Manager at Cytiva with responsibility for products tailored for downstream processing of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products, primarily nucleic acids. Peter earned his PhD in Neurochemistry from Stockholm University in 2009. It was a project regrading cellular delivery of oligo-therapeutics by conjugation and particle formation with cell-penetrating peptides. He has been with Cytiva since 2003 and he is based in Uppsala, Sweden. Peter has led development of high flow adsorber products, he has extensive experience from product management ranging from chromatography products to solid supports for synthesis, and he has experience from oligo synthesis and purification internally and at customer sites.

Alex Xu, Founder and CEO, Veliter

Bio: Alex Xu, with his extensive background in small molecule drugs and oligonucleotides, has significantly contributed to the field since 2007. His roles have included Senior Scientist and Project Leader at Ariad Pharm. Inc., Qiagen, and Nitto Avecia Inc. 
Since July 2019, Alex returned to China from Boston to establish Shenzhen Veliter Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Guangdong Veliter Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd, and Hunan Veliter Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd respectively. 
Alex and his leadership aim to foster game changing nucleic acid drug therapies through strategic partnerships with global gene therapy innovators.

Kathryn L. Ackley, Ph.D., CMC Consultant Specializing in Oligonucleotides

Bio: Dr. Ackley earned her doctorate in analytical chemistry from the University of Cincinnati. She spent 16 years working in CDMOs serving the pharmaceutical industry. She has held positions in QC, production management, project management, and business development. Dr. Ackley was the Vice President of Development for Nitto Denko Avecia, one of the leading oligonucleotide CDMOs. Since 2018, Dr. Ackley has served as an independent CMC consultant.
