Chemical Engineering

Work includes the transfer of medicinal products from the laboratory to the manufacturing plant.

Chemical engineers are perhaps the most closely associated with drug development and manufacture, and work to transfer research scale products to full scale manufacture by:

  • devising chemical routes
  • scaling up production
  • improving processes for existing products – using alternative routes and novel technology
