Materials Characterization In Pharma

R&D spending in the pharmaceutical industry through 2015 was valued at around $58bn as organizations vied to gain a competitive advantage by bringing new drugs to market as quickly as possible. Materials science is now helping pharmaceutical companies to standardize and control areas such as drug form and manufacture to deliver new products more quickly and with greater quality. The pharma industry is increasingly embracing the principles of Quality by Design (QbD) to improve efficiency and ensure good quality and reduced variability throughout the drug production process.
