Student What books or courses would you recommend Chemical Engineering student who wants to be a Formulation Scientist in Biotechnology field?

Hi, i’m currently 4th year Chemical Engineering student and very curious about drug development field. I want to work with polymers, drug carrying systems, to make tests etc. And my time table is very strict I leave home at 6:45 and come back at 18:00, so I have to choose what to read wisely, I have to be sure that, yk this is the one. Ofc im thinking of continuing with Masters degree as well, but I want to learn so I can apply for internships beforehand to have the experience in advance. So I’d be glad if you share the books or courses that you are sure will be useful.

I'll PM you some notes from a pharmaceutical engineering class that I took it will be good for you. The notes were created by the professor I didn't make them myself. Top uni.

It's pretty broad it covers pharmacokinetics/dynamics, material science and excipients (most related to formulation), tablet pressing equipment and other manufacturing equipment, and other stuff I can't remember because it was four years ago and I didn't go into that role. But yeah will send from a diff account this my work computer account.
