Carl A. Anderson
joined the Duquesne University faculty in 2002 as
an assistant professor of pharmaceutical science.
He is a member of the Duquesne University Center
for Pharmaceutical Technology (DCPT). His current
focus is on building and leading a research group
to explore new and existing analytical technologies
and demonstrate their relevance to process analytical
technology (PAT) applications. In addition to exploring
PAT tools, his group uses these tools to enhance
the understanding of the chemistry and physics of
pharmaceutical technology.
After completing
his graduate work at the University of Texas at
Austin in 1995, he spent seven years working for
the three different incarnations of the pharmaceutical
company that became known as Aventis Pharmaceuticals.
While there, he led the team that developed, validated,
and implemented Aventiso first PAT based analytical
methods. He served on the executive committee of
the NIR Validation Working Group (NIRVWoG) that
authored the revisions to USP.
Research
Program
