We all know that since the remarkable debut of modern biopharmaceuticals , the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology has evolved tremendously. By comparison, when I follow how quickly (life) sciences advance, it would make Newton s apple appear to fall in slow motion. I am very happy that people who contributed most to this fast and exciting development of biopharmaceuticals, who helped to usher in a golden age of molecular biology, also contributed to Modern Biopharmaceuticals -Design, Development and Optimization. 1 would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the authors for their excellent contributions and hope that the reader will enjoy this fantastic collection of scientific art.

The commercialization of developments in biotechnology will require a new breed of chemical engineer, one with a solid foundation in the life sciences as well as in process engineering principles. This engineer will be able to bring iimovative and economic solutions to problems in health care delivery and in the large-scale implementation of advances in molecular biology. 

Carmen Socaciu was bom in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and earned a BSc in chemistry in 1976, an MSc in 1977, and a PhD in 1986 from the University Babes-Bolyai in Cluj-Napoca, an important academic centre located in the Transylvania region. Dr. Socaciu worked as a researcher in medical and cellular biochemistry for more than 10 years, and became a lecturer in 1990 and full professor in 1998 in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine (USAMV) in Cluj-Napoca. She extended her academic background in pure chemistry (synthesis and instrumental analysis) to the life sciences (agrifood chemistry and cellular biochemistry). Her fields of competence are directed especially toward natural bioactive phytochemicals (carotenoids, phenolics, flavonoids), looking to advanced methods of extraction and analysis and to their in vitro actions on cellular metabolism, their effects as functional food ingredients, and their impacts on health.

The application of thermodynamic models to the correlation and prediction of pharmaceutical solubility behaviour is an underutilized technique in today s process research and development environment. This is due to the relatively poor accuracy and limited predictive ability of the previous generation of models. Recent advances in computational chemistry and an increased focus on the life science sectors has led to the development of more appropriate models with significantly improved predictive capabilities. The NRTL-SAC and Local UNIFAC approaches will be discussed here with additional examples given in section 8. 

Fluorescence spectroscopy and its applications to the physical and life sciences have evolved rapidly during the past decade. The increased interest in fluorescence appears to be due to advances in time resolution, methods of data analysis and improved instrumentation. With these advances, it is now practical to perform time-resolved measurements with enough resolution to compare the results with the structural and dynamic features of macromolecules, to probe the structures of proteins, membranes, and nucleic acids, and to acquire two-dimensional microscopic images of chemical or protein distributions in cell cultures. Advances in laser and detector technology have also resulted in renewed interest in fluorescence for clinical and analytical chemistry.
