From Test Tubes to Tonnes: Commercial Drug Process Development for Life Scientists

here is a vast step between the laboratory world and that of commercial manufacturing. It is a jump from plate readers and pipettes up to a world of thousand-litre fermenters and raw materials measured out by the tonne. A world where failure can cost millions and where anxious engineers sweat over the slightest variation in pH – and a world which most of us have never experienced before.Written for those still in academia or just having moved into industry, this book will introduce the art of developing and validating a commercial process - from making that initial design through to continuing process validation. It will guide you through the many steps involved while explaining the dense cloud of jargon.Sound useful? Then read on!
