Pharmaceutical companies are seeking ways to cut costs and streamline manufacturing processes. Recent FDA and ICH Guidances have encouraged the industry to use risk-based methodologies and implement faster and more modern sensors and controls. The leading technique for this modernization is Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.

      Emil W. Ciurczak, the NIRPROF, has almost 40 years of cGMP pharmaceutical experience and over 25 years of near-infrared experience, both in industry and with instrument manufacturers. Emil has taught NIR courses for >25 years, designed and patented hardware and software, written texts, and published extensively in journals.  As a memeber of the FDA's Validation Subcommitte on PAT, Emil has been working on PAT and QbD courses, concepts, and applications since its inception.

      Emil and his various professional associates at Doramaxx Consulting can work with your company to integrate NIR into your PAT/QbD programs or even help design and implement a PAT/QbD program. With his extensive experience, Emil has a number of experts at Doramaxx that he can call upon for special projects.
