Description
Summary:The most important areas of progress, and the most difficult challenges, of the pharmaceutical sciences have been biopharmaceutics and chronopharmacology, both of which began in Europe. The circumstances of the second World War caused pharmaceutical technology to grow slowly from the former art, ars pharmaceutica, also associated with the name galenics. The impetus for this growth first came from Switzerland, especially by the well-known book, Galenisches Praktikum, by K. Munzel and J. Buchi in 1959 as well as articles from K. Steiger-Trippi. German-speaking personnel in pharmaceutical technology are characterized by their close connection to mechanical engineering and the good cooperation among academic research, practical development at the bench, and scale-up in production as well as with manufacturers of excipients and process equipment.
