More and more drug makers are starting to adopt pharmaceutical continuous manufacturing (PCM) in drug manufacturing. New technological developments and operational demands are resulting from new partnerships among academic centers and industry leaders, particularly in the past two years. "One of our goals is to make this technology easier and more transparent within the next five to ten years," said Fernando Muzzio, Ph.D., director of Rutgers Center for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (C-SOPS) and distinguished professor of chemical and biochemical engineering at Rutgers University. Recently, C-SOPS and U.S. Pharmacopeia formalized their collaboration to make the PCM technology more affordable and widely available to manufacturers around the world.
