Partners and companies within ECCPM develop implementable solutions to advance pharmaceutical manufacturing into the 21st century.
BETTER MANUFACTURING NEEDS BIGGER THINKING
We significantly push forward continuous manufacturing by integrating pharmaceutical engineering, material science, and innovative technologies with a rational, science-first approach. Our efforts allow organizations and businesses to transform their manufacturing practices today.
The Challenges for Modernizing Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Technological Advancements:
The progression of technology, including automation, real-time release testing, QA/QC strategies, and predictive modelling (whether mechanistic or data-driven), paves the way for more streamlined manufacturing processes.
New Modalities:
The growing intricacy of pharmaceutical products like biologics, nanostructured systems, and personalized medicines requires cutting-edge manufacturing approaches and highly specialized experts. This is essential to address production challenges and enhance understanding of processes and materials.
Need for Resilience and Independence:
Building resilience against disruptions such as pandemics and natural disasters drives innovation in manufacturing technologies and logistics. This aims to ensure efficient local production of medicines at reasonable costs.
