Next Issue: Manufacturing and Ingredients
As manufacturing models evolve to embrace quality by design and process analytical technology, companies are reassessing the way they produce drugs. Next month we look at the latest developments in the sector. We explore the concept of continuous manufacturing and profile technologies in the research pipeline that could revolutionise operations.
Active pharmaceutical ingredients, of course, are vital to the manufacturing process. We look at efforts to monitor and certify the quality of APIs, such as the World Health Organization’s Prequalification of Medicines Programme, and find out how API contract manufacturers can stay ahead of the game in an increasingly competitive market.
