PhD Studentship: 3D Printing of Novel Drug Delivery Devices

Job Details

Details

3D printing is an additive manufacturing technique that allows for the manufacture of complex drug delivery devices. The aim of this project is to investigate the use of 3D printing for the manufacture of both solid oral dosage forms and implantable drug delivery devices for use in personalised medicine. The project will investigate arrange of polymers, both biodegradable and non-biodegradable, to determine which are most suitable for 3D printing and the delivery of a wide range of active ingredients. Once suitable polymers have been identified the project will investigate the design and printing of complex solid oral dosage forms and implantable drug delivery devices capable of delivering multiple active ingredients.

The studentship is open to all students with their own source of funding.

 

Person Specification

Applicants should have obtained an Honours Degree or equivalent at 2.1 or above in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related disciplines. A general understanding of 3D printing, Hot Melt Extrusion and HPLC analysis would be desirable.
