In this episode of Exploration Science, I sat down with Dr. Fernando Albericio, Dr. Beatriz G. de la Torre, and Jonathan Collins at the 2021 TIDES meeting in Boston to discuss their thoughts on peptide therapeutics, manufacturing, and the greening of peptide science. Fernando and Beatriz are professors at the University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Jon is the VP of Business Development at CEM.
