For any students who would like to be involved in medicine in future and contribute to improving people’s health with drugs.
As pharmaceuticals are intrinsically linked to people’s lives, everyone involved in their development and manufacture has a significant sense of mission and responsibility.
To uphold this mission, the pharmaceutical industry requires talented individuals who possess an immense desire to take on the challenge of developing new formulations, an ethical perspective on pharmaceuticals, and a high level of expertise in carrying out quality assurance and quality control to ensure the stable supply of safe and reliable pharmaceuticals.
We are working on the development and manufacture of pharmaceuticals, as well as developing talented individuals that can take on both.
