Abstract
Pharmaceutical research thrives on the synergy between engineering and science, revolutionizing drug discovery, development, and manufacturing. This chapter delves into pivotal methodologies, technologies, and applications shaping this symbiotic relationship. Molecular modeling and computational chemistry steer rational drug design, while high-throughput screening expedites lead compound identification. Bioprocess engineering fine-tunes biologics manufacturing, and nanotechnology introduces groundbreaking drug delivery systems. Continuous manufacturing heightens efficiency, and quality by design and process analytical technology ensure regulatory compliance and product excellence. Smart drug delivery systems revolutionize therapeutic release control. Ethical and regulatory considerations underscore the paramount importance of patient safety and public trust. Looking ahead, collaborative interdisciplinary endeavors will propel pharmaceutical engineering, addressing emerging challenges and elevating patient outcomes.
