Welcome to the blog of the new Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manufacturing & Marketplace Report, a specialized biweekly newsletter of Pharmaceutical Technology and BioPharm International, which will launch in late February 2013. The eNewsletter is an exclusive feature of the new Pharmaceutical Technology/BioPharm International Marketplace, an online marketplace community focused on products and services for drug development and manufacturing, which will be launching in beta shortly and formally in April.
The Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manufacturing & Marketplace Report will bring to you the latest industry news on research and development, product and service innovation, and scientific thought leadership on the most important issues in the fast-changing pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical manufacturing marketplace.
The Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manufacturing & Marketplace Report will be covering the technical, scientific, and market developments in five main areas:
• Formulation development and manufacturing for solid dosage, semisolid, and specialty dosage forms
• Formulation development and manufacturing for parenteral drugs
• Analytical testing
• Chemical API synthesis and manufacturing
• Biologic API manufacturing
As editor of the Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manufacturing & Marketplace Report, I look forward in sharing with our readers the advances in your company’s product and service offerings and how their applications are resolving the scientific challenges in drug development and manufacturing. I welcome insight from formulation and drug-delivery scientists, analytical chemists, process development and manufacturing scientists, engineers, QA/QC professionals, and production experts in discussing equipment design and operation, formulation development and drug delivery, and drug-substance and finished-product manufacturing.
In my own experience beginning with my doctoral research in organic chemistry to my professional experience as a scientist, business-development manager, and editor in the fine-chemicals and pharmaceutical industries, I can fully appreciate the marriage of market and scientific expertise needed to bring solutions to the technical challenges in drug development and manufacturing. I look forward to your input on these five important aspects of drug development and manufacturing and contributing to the knowledge base of these five communities.
