CEP: YPOV Your Career as a Volunteer
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
To surpass the merely adequate, and to accomplish something noteworthy, requires one to take on tasks that are unstated and to solve problems that others may not have even noticed. Depending on the structure of your work environment, there may be opportunities to do this professionally. -
CEP: Process Safety Beacon - Are Your Signs and Labels Confusing?
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
Lack of labeling can be a safety problem, and poor or confusing labels or information signs can be even worse. -
CEP: Process Automation Corner - Biotech Makes Inroads into Industrial Chemicals
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
If you manage to stay afloat long enough, past associations inevitably resurface. At a recent Société de Chimie Industrielle luncheon, I reconnected with a client who I hadn’t seen in almost 30 years. In 1983, I was retained by an investment banker to evaluate the commercial prospects of BioChem... -

Bioactive Devices: Uniting Form with Function
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
Bioactive implants that combine a medical device with one or more biologic therapeutic agents show promise for the targeted treatment of complex medical conditions. Implantable medical devices, such as stents, grafts, and joint replacements, are crucial in the treatment of many chronic diseases,... -
The Blood-Brain Barrier and Drug Delivery
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
To maintain favorable conditions in the brain, the blood-brain barrier limits mass transfer across brain tissue. However, it also restricts the systemic delivery of compounds to treat neurological disorders. Several treatment alternatives to bypass the BBB and infuse pharmaceuticals at high... -
Engineering Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Drug and Gene Delivery
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
Engineered nanoparticles can deliver therapeutic agents to specifically targeted cells and then release those agents in a precisely controlled manner. Improved pharmacokinetic properties, reduced toxicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers are some of the key benefits of this approach. -
Introduction to Drug Delivery Technology
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
Drugs can be administered by many routes, yet all emerging drug delivery technologies aim to improve drug efficacy, minimize side effects, and reduce the burden of care for patients and physicians. -
SBE Update: Drug Delivery and Chemical/Biological Engineering
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
Although you might not associate drug delivery with chemical engineering, the principles of chemical engineering — such as mass and energy balances, transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, and particle technology — are intimately involved in drug delivery. Biological engineers are developing new... -
Assess Hazards with Process Flow Failure Modes Analysis
CEP Magazine article, March 2013
Process flow failure modes (PFFM) analysis is an intuitive, process-flow-directed way to identify potentially hazardous scenarios. Learn how to apply this technique to your process hazard reviews.
