Formulation and Process Development Strategies for Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals

Because pharmaceutical scientists lack information about biopharmaceutical product manufacture and commercialization, this book comprehensively covers fundamentals and essential pathways for each production phase, as well as the purpose, function, and relation to other stages in the product development process. It provides case histories related to therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and plasma fractions. And it offers the perspective and experience of production and manufacturing of the drugs, making this a vital for pharmaceutical, biotech, regulatory, and academic researchers and professionals.
