Insights into Flow and Continuous Systems in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Challenges and Opportunities

Ireland’s pharmaceutical sector has transformed over the past 50 years, from an API manufacturing base to a global hub for high value activities including process R&D, formulation, bioprocessing, and biotechnology.
