Next steps
Thanks so much for taking the time to listen to our presentation.
Continuous direct compression (CDC) is a novel technology that redefines how we produce solid oral dosage medicines robustly and efficiently. At our Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre in Glasgow, we’re collaborating with industry and academia to transform the way in which tablets are produced.
Eager to find out more? I’d love to have a conversation about how we can work together.
