Publisher's Synopsis
From Lab Bench to Bioreactor: Your Guide to the Pharma Industry
You've got the scientific background, maybe a degree, maybe postgrad research, and now you're eyeing the pharmaceutical industry. Quality assurance? Production? Regulatory affairs?
The problem? The leap from academic labs to large-scale manufacturing isn't small.
This book is your bridge. It unpacks the real-world complexities of commercial pharmaceutical production: from plate readers and pipettes to thousand-litre fermenters, high-stakes process validation, and quality systems where mistakes can cost millions.
Whether you're still in academia or just starting your industry role, you'll learn:
- How commercial processes are developed and validated
- What "process validation" really means
- The mindset shift required to thrive in a regulated manufacturing environment
Clear, practical, and full of real-world insight, this is the guide every scientist should read before stepping onto the production floor.
