pharmaHUB

The pharmaHUB Engineering Virtual Organization for Pharmaceutical Engineering and Science (EVO-PES) will be the preeminent interdisciplinary resource for sharing and building the science and engineering base for innovative pharmaceutical product development and manufacturing. pharmaHUB was created as an NSF-funded Engineering Virtual Organization w... ith a mission to facilitate collaborative creation and sharing of information, knowledge and modeling tools that support innovations in product and process development and manufacturing methodology for pharmaceutical products. We will promote the joint creation and sharing of educational materials, modules and experiences at all degree levels for use in the education and training of engineers and pharmaceutical scientists in academia, industry and the FDA. pharmaHUB will draw on the R&D output of projects such as the Engineering Research Center - Structured Organic Particulate Systems (ERC-SOPS), the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Education (NIPTE), and the collective work of our colleagues in the field. pharmaHUB leverages the cyberinfrastructure technology developed by HUBzero and is developing significantly enhanced new technology to support the highly regulated and data intensive environment within which pharmaceutical product development takes place. The interdisciplinary community that constitutes the constituency for pharmaHUB comprises academic researchers in engineering (especially, biological, chemical, materials and mechanical) and the sciences (especially, pharmaceutics, chemistry and applied biology) and their industrial and governmental counterparts, who are concerned with innovations in the science-based design of pharmaceutical products, the design of the associated robust production processes and the efficient computer-assisted management and control of pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. This community seeks to develop the scientific understanding and engineering methodologies to bring high quality therapeutic products to ...Read More
