SHORT COURSE Raman Imaging: What's Science and What's Art Chairperson: Eunah Lee, Ph.D., Applications Scientist, HORIBA Jobin Yvon An introduction into how spectroscopy is being used within the modern Pharma industry as a tool for drug development and PAT. Process monitoring, HTS, screening and R&D illustrations for Raman and micro XRF will develop the theme of how these newer technologies are being applied in pharmaceutical applications and the advantages that they can bring to industry. What is new and what is evolving for these techniques.
