CMAC

EPSRC Future Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation Research Hub (CMAC) is an international hub for excellence for medicines manufacturing research, comprising of 7 leading UK Universities, 8 global pharmaceutical partners and 17 technology companies. CMAC’s goal is to enable the pharmaceutical and chemical industries to deliver high quality products in a more economical, efficient, and sustainable manner, by advanced continuous manufacturing. The ambitious programme targets current and future needs by developing digital design and modelling methodologies as well as integrated, flexible, and modular end-to-end continuous processing. This approach involves product and process understanding of small molecule manufacturing, to meet the current industry demands for more personalised product performance for patients and consumers.
