Advanced Manufacturing of Pharmaceuticals
The Young Institute seeks to organize people, resources and partners in the context of advanced manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. The alliance leverages the collective strength and individual expertise of each for the purpose of crafting innovative business models to attract large-scale funding with the capacity to facilitate advanced research and foster workforce development for the benefit of the state and nation.
The time is right to utilize Purdue’s expertise and reputation and leverage the magnitude of Indiana’s manufacturing industry to capitalize on the current industrial and government landscape that supports large-scale projects.
- Purdue benefits from exceptional reputation in chemistry, engineering, science and pharmaceutical R&D and training.
- Indiana is home to a significant portion of pharmaceutical manufacturing in the U.S.
- Purdue faculty have unparalleled expertise that can be organized better to capitalize on current trends to strengthen supply chains and reshore pharma manufacturing.
- The current industrial and government landscape are favorable to large scale projects.
- New funding sources require extensive planning and organization of teams and resources beyond a typical proposal.
- Innovative business models can be utilized to accomplish ambitious goals that benefit Purdue, Indiana, and the U.S.
