Timothy Rials
With the advancement of cellulosic ethanol technologies in recent years, more emphasis is being placed on the production of a sustainable supply of biomass for commercial scale facilities. These facilities will require significant supplies of biomass that will, in the southeast, come from private...

Drug Product Quality by Design: An Industrial Perspective

Nov 8, 2009
Mary T. am Ende
The regulatory quality guidances (Q8 – Q10) have set the expectation to develop pharmaceutical products based on a comprehensive quality by design approach. These expectations have permeated our industry as the new gold standard. Pharmaceutical development and commercialization programs are now...

Application of QbD Principles to Analytical Methods

Nov 8, 2009
Jackson Pellett
The same QbD Principles applied to the design of manufacturing processes are applicable to the design of analytical methodology. QbD elements such as understanding the science behind the methods, and improving method reliability by identifying and controlling sources of variability are key. This...

Advanced Biofuels - The Path Forward

Nov 8, 2009
W. Densmore Hunter
Oil prices go up and they come down and our ability to forecast them with any real confidence has not been particularly good. A year ago when oil prices were at record highs and global economies were booming, the case for biofuels seemed clear. The path forward is cloudier today. Are we facing a...

Update on QbD Implementation: An FDA Perspective

Nov 8, 2009
Christine Moore
Quality by Design (QbD) is a science and risk based approach for pharmaceutical process development and manufacturing that begins with first defining clinically relevant product attributes and then designing and implementing a process to consistently deliver quality product. Some key aspects of QbD...
