(1888PressRelease) April 06, 2019 - Ester Lovsin Barle from Lonza AG will be speaking at SMi’s 3rd Annual Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPI) Conference which will take place in London on 13th-14th May. She will be discussing the latest developments in the industry with a specific focus on occupational exposure limits. Ahead of the conference, SMi interviewed her where she gave a taster of what she will be discussing.

Ester said:
“While there seems to be a reduction of new projects from the “simple” small molecule area, there is a very alive and booming field of developing new and imaginative ways to target diseases with new therapeutic applications and modalities, as well as use longstanding highly potent or toxic drugs in new ways. Personally, I find the area of HPAPI very exciting since it is challenging to keep up with the pace of the progress in the field. Challenges are fun!”

“As mentioned before, the progress in the HPAPI field is rapid and there are certain gaps in the knowledge when breaking new grounds. For my professional work as the occupational toxicologist it is a challenge to fill these gaps and protect the safety of the patients and workers in an optimal way despite not knowing it all.”
