Today's college classrooms underemphasize the unique and vital role chemical engineering plays in the drug development process. In fact, most pharmaceutical R&D professionals outside of engineering enter this field with little familiarity with the concepts and applications of chemical engineering science. Chemical Engineering in the Pharmaceutical Industry seeks to bridge this gap by highlighting key subjects related to chemical engineering essential for chemists, analysts, technologists, operations and management teams--and all those who bring pharmaceuticals successfully to market. With clarity and insight on challenging industry practices, it provides coverage on a wide range of topics, including scale-up of unit operations, process modeling, pilot and manufacturing equipment, and quality by design. In addition, Chemical Engineering in the Pharmaceutical Industry

• Provides practical guidance, not just theory in the field of chemical engineering
• Provides coverage of both the development of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and drug product (DP)
• Introduces mathematics and modern software approaches that are used in design and modeling of experiments for pharmaceutical development
• Examines the role of chemical engineering in biologics
• Covers analytics such as HPLC, FTIR, and NMR methods that are useful in material balances and kinetic analysis problems

Delivering a well-defined overview of procedures essential for students entering the pharmaceutical industry, as a well as being a dependable guide for experienced practitioners, Chemical Engineering in the Pharmaceutical Industry recognizes that moving drugs from the laboratory to the manufacturing plant is a complex task, and offers valuable solutions for synchronizing efforts more efficiently to help in the creation of more robust, better understood, and lower cost processes.
