Leading contract research provider, Syntagon, is delighted to announce that it has entered into a collaborative agreement with world-class Quality Assurance (QA) expert George Köllner.

George brings with him more than 20 years’ experience from the pharma industry. He has served as Director of Quality Assurance at AstraZeneca where he led the development and implementation of modern Quality Assurance systems in API Process Development.

“I am very excited having George on our team, it will allow us to better serve our customers by strategically setting the quality levels best suited for the project and thus avoiding costly delays,” says Ulrika Burén, Syntagon QA Officer.

In addition to overseeing GMP projects, George’s expertise will be available as a stand-alone service – from quality consulting to setting up internal quality systems and performing external audits.

Syntagon is confident that George’s competences will further strengthen the company’s offering and improve service quality.

Syntagon sees that regulatory requirements for clinical materials are becoming increasingly demanding, and quality requirements becoming especially stringent in Phase II and III projects.

The company’s approach is simple: putting customers’ needs first, and restructuring the business to increase the quality of our service.

Syntagon’s Swedish site continues to focus on regulatory support and quality assurance as well as customer relations and project management. Product manufacturing and manufacturing support will also remain in Sweden.

At its facility in Latvia, the company will focus on clinical development of production methods for drug substances, quality control and preclinical supply.

The result of these changes will see a significant increase in the quality of services while retaining the competitive price points Syntagon offers today.
