Speaker

Isabelle Wellhöfer is an organic chemist by training and focuses on technology and process development for peptide manufacturing at Bachem’s Swiss site. She earned her PhD in the group of Prof. Christian Olsen at the University of Copenhagen working on beta-peptoids and their folding into 3D structures. Since joining Bachem in 2020, she has contributed to the development of scalable, robust, and sustainable platforms for peptide synthesis and purification used in late‑stage development and commercial production. In her current role as Director R&D, she works with cross‑functional teams on process development and characterization for large‑scale peptide manufacturing, including the evaluation and implementation of advanced technologies such as MCSGP for downstream processing.
