Sanne Verhook
Lead Peptide Scientist, Biosynth

Dr Sanne Verhoork is a Lead Scientist in Biosynth’s Peptide Division. After completing her degree in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences at Universiteit Leiden (NL) she pursued her PhD in peptide chemistry at Liverpool John Moores University (UK). During her PhD studies, being faced with the toxic chemicals used, as well as the quantity of waste being generated, an interest in sustainability and ‘greener’ alternatives was awakened. Since joining Pepscan in 2020, and subsequently Biosynth, she has played an active role in investigating and implementing ‘green’ chemistry within the Peptide Division.
