Puerto Rico’s close-knit pharmaceutical sector is aiming to attract new talent to the industry so as to further increase its global competitiveness. There is a strong, robust ecosystem around…
In 2012, the first summer camp on pharmaceutical engineering was celebrated on the Center for Pharmaceutical Engineering Development and Learning. This was a great activity to launch a Center focused on developing the area of pharmaceutical engineering and transforming the pharmaceutical industry. Three more summer camps have been celebrated since 2012 with over 85 bright high school students. Clearly, CPEDaL is a young Center with a lot of history to come. In 2006, the ERC on Structure Organic Particulate Systems started its operation with funds from NSF and the pharmaceutical industry. C-SOPS was instrumental to provide the jump-start to CPEDaL.
The vision of CPEDaL is to be a premier facility to support the transformation of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry through education of undergraduate and graduate students, basic and applied research, training of professionals, and innovative technology transfer.
