Role of Materials Chemistry in Biotechnologyand Pharmaceuticals industry
Chemistry is truly behind all the exciting discoveries and advances that are
taking place today in the fields of biotechnology and materials
science. Without molecular science, which is chemistry, all the advances in both these fields are just
wouldn't be possible. The rapid progress of science and technology
depends largely on the development of advanced materials and the
efficient use of chemical and biological reactions. With
the greater sophistication of science and technology as the
diversification of industry, it is now strongly demanded to realize design and
development of the new materials with various
functions, development of manufacturing process, reduction of the environmental
pollution and effective production of useful biomaterials and this
paved way for the birth of Biotechnology. It supplies the fundamental
knowledge and its application for material design at atomic and
molecular levels, high-value addition to materials.
Materials Science and Chemistry understanding is a key factor to consider in drug
substance and drug product process development.
The material properties for the active pharmaceutical ingredient, excipients, and intermediates can
influence the process and product performance. Materials
science and chemistry is now
helping pharmaceutical companies to standardize and control areas such
as drug form and manufacture to deliver new products more quickly and with
greater quality. The pharma industry is increasingly embracing the
principles of Quality by Design to improve efficiency and ensure good quality
and reduced variability throughout the drug production process which is
impossible without the aid of Materials science engineering
principles and techniques.
