Kudos to our Small Molecules team for their active engagement in Expert Volunteer Recruitment https://lnkd.in/eumte8Xv
The work of the Small Molecules committees at USP is crucial for global public health for several reasons:
1. Developing and Revising Monographs: Small Molecules committees, such as the Small Molecules 1 Expert Committee, are tasked with developing and revising monographs for critical drug substances, including antibiotics, antivirals, and antimicrobials. These monographs ensure the quality and safety of drugs that are vital in treating various diseases worldwide [oai_citation:5,2020–2025 Chemical Medicines Monographs 1 Expert Committee Work Plan | USP](https://lnkd.in/e5UnN8zN).
2. Improving Pharmaceutical Standards: These committees work on converting older assay methods to more modern techniques like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), enhancing the reliability and precision of pharmaceutical testing [oai_citation:4,2020–2025 Chemical Medicines Monographs 1 Expert Committee Work Plan | USP](https://lnkd.in/e5UnN8zN).
3. Global Health Impact: The recognition and implementation of USP standards, particularly in emerging markets where these standards are most rapidly adopted, significantly impact the safety and effectiveness of medications available in these regions [oai_citation:3,2020–2025 Chemical Medicines Monographs 1 Expert Committee Work Plan | USP](https://lnkd.in/e5UnN8zN).
4. Expert Volunteer Involvement: Expert volunteers play a pivotal role in the committees, bringing diverse professional expertise to the standard-setting process, which is crucial for maintaining the high quality of USP’s drug standards. This volunteer-based approach ensures that standards are developed using the best available science and broad professional input [oai_citation:2,2020–2025 Small Molecules 5 Expert Committee Work Plan | USP](https://lnkd.in/eDn2Gh8V).
5. Collaborative Efforts: The committees collaborate with regulatory bodies like the FDA and other stakeholders to address and resolve issues related to pharmaceutical standards, which supports the ongoing improvement and relevance of USP standards in a changing global landscape [oai_citation:1,2020–2025 Small Molecules 5 Expert Committee Work Plan | USP](https://lnkd.in/eDn2Gh8V).
Working at US Pharmacopeia, I see firsthand how quickly the science of medicine quality is changing. Together with staff scientists, our Expert Volunteers contribute diverse insights and expertise that help us develop solutions for emerging challenges and keep pace with pharmaceutical innovation.
I’m excited to share that USP is actively recruiting independent scientific experts to serve during our next five-year cycle. Watch ⤵️ for more on what's possible when you become a #USPExpertVolunteer and apply today to amplify your impact: Bit.ly/USPExpertVolunteer.
