Technical Operations in Life Science Recruitment
What is Technical Operations in Life Science?
Technical Operations in life science refer to the various processes and techniques that are used in the research, development, manufacturing, and distribution of pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and other related technologies. Some examples of include the following:
1. Formulation: Firstly, the process of developing a stable and effective dosage form for a drug or active ingredient.
2. Analytical testing: Use of various tests and methods to measure the purity, potency, and quality of drugs and other life science products.
3. Manufacturing: Production of drugs, medical devices, and other life science products, including the use of specialised equipment, processes, and systems.
4. Quality control: The process of ensuring that products meet established safety, efficacy, and quality standards through testing, inspections, and adherence to regulatory requirements.
5. Packaging and labelling: Creation of appropriate packaging materials and labelling to ensure proper handling, storage, as well as administration of drugs and other life science products.
6. Distribution: Lastly, logistics involved in delivering drugs and other life science products to their intended destinations, which includes transportation, storage, and tracking.
Overall, it plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of drugs and other life science products, and their successful development and commercialisation.
