Nicolas Vertommen tells the story behind HakoBio - a web-based platform for designing processes.

Virtual reality can let you walk around facilities before they have been built.

How Google Glass inspired hands-free access to information for process engineers.

Tablets are the most common dosage form, but have you considered all of your options?

Can supersaturation save us from solubility problems?

Genentech’s Cell Culture Biologics Drug Substance Plant 2 in Vacaville, California.

Lyophilized gene networks synthesize biomedicines ondemand – with just a sprinkle of water.

This article explains how an inline probe was used to monitor a granulation at three different scales to confirm that, in each case, the granules produced were the same size, and more importantly produced tablets of identical quality as quantified by hardness.

David Banks offers a warning on using inappropriate lyophilization placebos.

In this article, we take an introductory look at how TDA works, the information it provides and its complementary application to other techniques within the drug development workflow. In addition, example case study data will showcase the performance of TDA relative to dynamic light scattering (DLS) for assessment of the impact of a range of parameters on the monomer-dimer-hexamer equilibrium of insulin.
