Research Interests
My new role takes place at the new Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) , where I am part of a team focused in the development a continuous direct compression (CDC) platform. CDC is a continuous manufacturing process that allows much greater process control than traditional batch-type pharmaceutical manufacturing methods. Its advantages include rapid production of formulations at a range of scales and also shorter optimisation times compared to batch-type processes. In my role, I will also help to develop a digitally-twinned CDC platform that allows us to understand and optimise the formulation process in digital space. The hope is that this reduces the amount of starting materials needed for optimisation and reduce the overall cost of the technology for the end-user.
