Pharmaceutical Technology

Pharmaceutical Technology is a branch of applied science dedicated to the design, manufacture and quality control of drugs and other related therapeutic products. It is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, pharmacology and medicine to the development, production, and regulation of medications. Pharmaceutical Technology plays a pivotal role in the development of safe, effective and cost-effective drugs that can improve and maintain the health of patients throughout the world. Its importance lies in its ability to bring together a variety of disciplines to design, construct and optimize chemical and/or biological systems that can deliver safe and effective medications to patients.
