Pharmaceutical Engineering is a cross-disciplinary field requiring knowledge of engineering principles, materials science, and an understanding of the unique aspects of developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into finish dosage forms. Safety and bioperformance drive all decisions throughout drug discover and development. Once a lead candidate is selected, several facets of the API an finished dosage form must be considered, including chemical stability, physical stability, manufacturability, patient acceptance, and regulation.
