Peptides are the building blocks of proteins, with a wide variety of crucial roles in the human body.
After finishing and passing USMLE Step 1, Ryan Smith decided to start a pharmacy in the United States that focused on peptide synthesis and formulations for pharmaceutical preparations. That pharmacy, Tailor Made Compounding, became the 4th fastest growing company in healthcare in the US. Ryan was a founding member the International Peptide Society, and spoke frequently in events and interviews about peptides, what they could offer, and the latest developments in research. Ryan exited Tailor Made in late 2020 to pursue his growing interest in Epigenetic methylation testing.
Ryan can offer an insider's look on what peptides do for us, why they're important, how man-made or synthetic peptides work, and what goes on behind the scenes of laboratory synthesis of peptides sold on the market today.
