James Wertman Email & Phone Number

James Wertman is a Head of CMC at Septerna at Septerna. He possess expertise in technology transfer, chemical engineering, gmp, pharmaceutical industry, r&d and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "James is one of the finest engineers I have had the pleasure of working with over the course of my 13+ years in the pharmaceutical industry. Over that time, I have worked with James on several projects, as he was the engineer supporting several stages of chemistry and he developed the particle formation stage for several late-phase assets. James brings numerous strengths to his work, combining theoretical assessment and design with empirical findings and data to develop fit-for-purpose models around processes. James is eager to try new approaches to build understanding of systems, from flow chemistry to using novel experimental designs to augment and improve kinetic models which are used to generate robust design spaces. James was an early adopter and practitioner of Quality by Design principles, applying them in the development of a manufacturing route for a treatment for melanoma. He partnered with me in developing the strategy for this asset around our regulatory filing, and led the engineering aspects around tech transfer and validation in commercial production facilities. James’s demeanor make him very easy to work with, approaching problems and troubleshooting with a level of calm and thoughtfulness which ensures the true root cause is identified and that people are brought along with him to support the outcome and actions moving forward. I highly recommend James for broad technical and leadership positions."

Listed skills include Technology Transfer, Chemical Engineering, Gmp, Pharmaceutical Industry, and 14 others.
