Project summary

This interdisciplinary project presents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious scientist or engineer to work across the boundaries of chemistry, physics and engineering, with opportunities to develop a broad portfolio of skills. A combination of Raman spectroscopy and total X-ray scattering techniques will be used to study the crystallisation of drug molecules and molecular analogues, to determine the influence of functional groups on their crystallisation behaviour. Predictive control of industrial crystallisation requires an understanding of how drugs behave in solution, and getting experimental structural informati...
