main projects, the first one is albendazole formulation of both chewable tablets and liquid
suspension. For both formulations, QbD documentation is made first, then formulation and
evaluation, and finally scale up for stability. The second project focuses on data validation on the
newest regulation for excipients which is PerBPOM no 17 tahun 2019. The main idea is to ease the
calculation work and make formulation time more efficient. This can also help the formulator to
