The European pharmaceutical sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Alongside traditional challenges—such as strict regulation or equitable access to treatments—new demands are emerging, driven by sustainability, digitalisation and personalisation. Within this context, the formulation of API pharmaceutical ingredients has become a strategic priority: it must not only ensure safety and efficacy but also align with…
Read moreMicroorganisms play a dual strategic role in the R&D pharmaceutical industry: they act as biological factories for producing medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and they serve as advanced biotechnological tools enabling safer, more sustainable and more efficient production pathways. Through microbial processes, it is possible to obtain antibiotics, vaccines, vitamins, therapeutic enzymes and a…
Read moreThe growing demand for more sustainable and efficient solutions in the pharmaceutical industry has driven the adoption of clean technologies for the production of active ingredients. One of the most advanced and versatile methods is supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), especially using carbon dioxide (CO₂). This technique enables the recovery of API pharmaceuticals with high purity,…
