What is industrial pharmacy?
The mission of the Industrial Pharmacy Lab is to focus on research in process technology and dosage form design. This research is very close to the today’s needs of the pharmaceutical industry looking for robust formulations and process technologies, which should enable to shorten the development time and to increase the product quality. A close cooperation with the pharmaceutical industry is a prerequisite to be able to do studies in the area of scale-up. Thus a win-win situation is created as there is no time for basic studies in scale-up in the industry and there is no large scale equipment for such studies at the university. This concept is very unique! Our research is working to understand and control pharmaceutical processes, such as tabletting, capsule filling, moist agglomeration, atmospheric spray-freeze-drying, and protein degradation during filling and dosing. Furthermore our aims are to design and develop new devices to improve the pharmaceutical processes and avoid scale-u
