Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Small Molecule Manufacturer! In Upfront, we examine key statistics that highlight just how big the market is for small molecule drugs, as well as why continuous wet granulation was chosen for a UK project involving GSK, AstraZeneca and CPI. For our cover feature, we look at a staple manufacturing technique: tabletting, including best practices on maintaining equipment and how industry trends are affecting innovation in tablet presses and tooling. Also included in the issue is dry granulation, 3D inkjet printing, and a special interview with Brian Henry from the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department at Pfizer.
