There are five PhD positions available, open to candidates with a Master’s degree in either the fields of Pharmacy, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Molecular Biology or a related area.
Successful applicants will join the WADDP within the Faculty of Health Sciences, a highly productive multicultural team of research staff and students, engaged in a range of pharmaceutical development projects.
Over the years WADDP has developed several platform-based technologies that allow for flexibility in the dosing, drug combinations, and all-encompassing 21st-century patient-centric medicines. With pharmaceutical technology such as 3D printing, multi-functional formulations with selected drugs/compounds in precise doses can be prepared that release in a controlled manner. Our hypothesis is that a delivery system using advanced technologies can achieve the required release profiles for multiple drugs within a single tablet or other dosage form. The main challenge will be an innovative formulation design containing different medicines within US-FDA approved excipients.
