Pharmaceutical Technology
Description
Research Group: Pharmaceutical Technology
The research group Pharmaceutical Technology at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences stands at the forefront of pharmaceutical science, focusing on the advancement and comprehensive mechanistic understanding in drug formulation from the perspective of materials science and production processing. Our expertise in Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control (CMC) integrates scientific approach based on advanced analytical techniques, powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms and statistical process controls to optimize pharmaceutical manufacturing with the ultimate goal of improving clinical outcomes. Furthermore, the group strives to incorporate environmental awareness in its research initiatives, aiming to develop energy- and resource-efficient innovations that maintain the highest standards of drug safety and therapeutic efficacy.
Historically, the research group Pharmaceutical Technology has conducted cutting-edge research in powder technology, contributing to the deep understanding and development of solid oral dosage forms and inhalation products. In the realm of biologicals, the group intends to adapt and expand its research activities beyond small drug molecules into the field of biologicals manufacturing and formulation, targeting recombinant and plasma-derived proteins, viral vectors, and exosomes. An important research area includes application of filtration in manufacturing of biologicals, focusing on enhanced product activity, biosafety and purity. Through our multidisciplinary approach, we continuously push the boundaries of pharmaceutical science, translating fundamental scientific insights into practical solutions that address critical unmet clinical needs.
