Sreenivasulu, Prof. (Dr.) Nilima Shukla, 2023-03-02 Graduates in Pharmaceutical Technology are needed worldwide, from the development of medications through their manufacture and packaging. There are excellent employment options in every area of the pharmaceutical industry, both in India and overseas. A Pharmaceutical Technology graduate is required at several stages of drug development, including drug research, validation, delivery systems, scaling up manufacturing process, etc. A graduate of the Pharmaceutical technology program has the ability, depending on their level of expertise, to work in the disciplines of chemical engineering, chemistry, bioprocesses engineering, or education in addition to the pharmaceutical industry. The potential in this sector is quite vast since India is one of leading producers of pharmaceuticals. While it is possible to get work in other countries, it is preferable to look for work in India. A Pharmaceutical Technology Engineer may readily find work in research and development labs, where their responsibilities include the design of quality pharmaceuticals, as well as the manufacture and inspection of drugs. The scope is quite vast and is expanding on an annual basis. Every industry is evolving more quickly than ever thanks to emerging technology. The pharmaceutical technology industry has also benefited from this, expanding to new heights. These next trends cover a wide range of topics, including artificial intelligence, automation, and more. The trends also indicate that new work possibilities are being created in the industry of the pharmaceutical technology. The technology has offered society several boons while lessening the man’s work. |

| pharmaceutical technology textbook: Computational Pharmaceutics Defang Ouyang, Sean C. Smith, 2015-05-18 Molecular modeling techniques have been widely used in drug discovery fields for rational drug design and compound screening. Now these techniques are used to model or mimic the behavior of molecules, and help us study formulation at the molecular level. Computational pharmaceutics enables us to understand the mechanism of drug delivery, and to develop new drug delivery systems. The book discusses the modeling of different drug delivery systems, including cyclodextrins, solid dispersions, polymorphism prediction, dendrimer-based delivery systems, surfactant-based micelle, polymeric drug delivery systems, liposome, protein/peptide formulations, non-viral gene delivery systems, drug-protein binding, silica nanoparticles, carbon nanotube-based drug delivery systems, diamond nanoparticles and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) drug delivery systems. Although there are a number of existing books about rational drug design with molecular modeling techniques, these techniques still look mysterious and daunting for pharmaceutical scientists. This book fills the gap between pharmaceutics and molecular modeling, and presents a systematic and overall introduction to computational pharmaceutics. It covers all introductory, advanced and specialist levels. It provides a totally different perspective to pharmaceutical scientists, and will greatly facilitate the development of pharmaceutics. It also helps computational chemists to look for the important questions in the drug delivery field. This book is included in the Advances in Pharmaceutical Technology book series. |
