Short Courses
Malawer & Associates Consulting has created a 2-day short course for the American Chemical Society (ACS) entitled
"Introduction to Process Analytical Technology". This 14 lecture hour short course is offered directly by the ACS several times per year at physical venues as well as by webinar. The webinar versions run for 2.5 hours, usually on consecutive Tuesdays for five dates. A detailed description of the course can be found at the following link on the ACS website:
http://www.proed.acs.org/courses/course_overview.cfm?course_code=PACM
The currently scheduled sessions for the course can also be found on the
www.acs.org website under Education. A detailed syllabus for the course listing all individual lecture titles can be found by clicking

Since the course material is owned solely by Malawer & Associates Consulting, LLC, our firm is in a position to deliver this course on-site to up to 35 attendees at a client's location.
This provides a considerable per capita savings as we are able to perform this service for a 2-day consultation fee plus reasonable travel expenses and the direct cost of producing the course binders for the student attendees. Furthermore, the client firms do not bear the travel expense costs for their attendees and do not lose work hours due to these employees' travel to and from an off-site course venue.
In 2009, Malawer & Associates Consulting was approached by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) to create a new short course relating to pharmaceutical excipient quality and supply chain integrity. This project was formally contracted with Dr. Malawer by the USP in October 2009 and has, so far, resulted in a one-hour USP webinar delivered by Dr. Malawer on April 6, 2010. Dr. Roger Williams, CEO of the USP, has also engaged Dr. Malawer to serve on a newly formed steering committee on the future of the USP's pharmacopeial education program.
Textbooks and Review Articles
J. Wiley & Sons, a major technical book publisher, in concert with Lone Wolf Enterprises contracted Malawer & Associates Consulting to produce a new textbook to be entitled "
Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and Related Materials". This comprehensive, ~ 400 page text is due to be delivered for publication in December 2011.
Our firm is happy to discuss the creation of other texts and review articles relating to our areas of technical expertise with prospective clients. These include all aspects of laboratory and process analytical chemistry, polymer characterization and synthesis, pharmaceutical excipients, drug product GMP quality systems and renewable energy sources. A sample review article authored by Dr. Malawer for the January 2008 issue of the Cosmetiscope (p. 1, 6-8) providing an overview of the field of pyrolysis gas chromatography can be seen (using Adobe Acrobat) by clicking
