A Comprehensive Approach to Pharmaceutical Engineering Training

Most people know that developing new drugs requires an enormous amount of time and money. On average,introducing a new drug product to market takes approximately 15 years and $650 million. A drug product consists of therapeutics and excipients combined in a delivery system. A drug product’s success lies in its ability to deliver the drug at a certain rate in a certain environment in the body. This is a function not only of the drug’s chemical and physical attributes but also the patient’s metabolism. Thus, one of the main challenges to  harmaceutical scientists and engineers is the interplay of drug discovery, effective drug delivery, and efficient production of drug products.
