Located at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of the Basque Country (UPV), Campus of Vitoria, is led by Prof. José Luis Pedraz and consists of large laboratories for: cell culture, chromatography equipment, sample preparation and characterization and one specific for scale preparation of pharmaceutical formulations. This Unit has the capacity to design and evaluate dosage forms both classical and new dosage forms of biotech drugs, DNA, RNA and vaccines using different methodologies based on micro and nano-medicine. The latter methodology based on the microencapsulation of cells, peptides, proteins, and in general of biotech products, as well as the development and design of non-viral vectors for gene therapy, is one of the biggest singularities of this unit. It counts with the most advanced equipment for micro and nano encapsulation.
The aim of the Unit is to determine experimentally all the variables needed to develop an optimal formulation and work instructions for preparing final pharmaceutical products.
The pharmaceutical technology applied to drug development involves the selection of materials and procedures that can be adapted to different processes that lead to specific pharmaceutical forms. To do that, the Unit counts with the most advanced equipment to cover the development for all the steps of the process.
One of the singularities of this Units is that is GLP certified by the Spanish Medicament Agency
