Job description
Traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing is not capable to deliver personalized medications on a large scale. Especially for solid dosage forms, technological solutions to enable personalized therapy are in dire need. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing is a highly innovative manufacturing technology that can enable mass personalisation of medicines. In this project, you will develop and design enabling powders for taste masking and increased drug loading for SLS 3D printing. You will investigate the performance and properties of the novel powders and printed medicines and optimize both, powder manufacturing and 3D printing. You will develop dosage forms for individualised therapy of paediatric and adult patients to facilitate and speed up the translation of SLS 3D printing to clinical application.This project is a collaboration between Utrecht University and Glatt GmbH in Binzen, Germany. Glatt GmbH is a world leading equipment manufacturer as well as development and manufacturing organisation with profound expertise in powder processing. The first year of the project will be spent at the site of Glatt GmbH to develop the powder formulations and manufacturing processes. The remainder of the project will be conducted in Utrecht.You will take part in the PhD programme Drug Innovation of the Graduate School of Life Sciences, which will give you the opportunity to connect with other PhD candidates in your field and to follow courses.
