Based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Arnold Christian Ramsland serves as president of Ramsland Technology, LLC, a company that has developed a novel wind turbine hub that significantly reduces loads on the blades. An established quality professional, he has extensive pharmaceutical industry experience. He held diverse leadership positions with Hoffmann-LaRoche (Roche) from 1973 to 2007, and supervised teams of as many as 12 chemists in validating and developing analytical methods that informed marketed drug products. Among Arnold Christian Ramsland’s areas of focus were chromatographic methods spanning swab testing, impurities, solvents, and assay. He also guided the development of next-generation robotic assay and dissolution methods.
Mr. Ramsland’s accomplishments included uncovering product impurities through HPLC stability testing, which helped avoid recalls of products on shelves. He created a novel laser diffraction validation procedure that supplemented microscopical imaging analysis and authored a paper on the topic. He also guided a team that ensured analytical methods met emerging regulatory standards, which positioned Roche in good standing with authorities.
In recent years, Mr. Ramsland has developed considerable knowledge in the renewable energy sphere and presented at wind turbine conferences. In his free time, he enjoys playing pickleball, golfing, and boating.
