Summary on Grant Application Form
The research team will develop a fast and automated approach to identify the solvent mixtures that give the best separation of pharmaceutical compounds. This can mean finding the best mixture amongst existing ones or inventing a new mixture for a particular application. This work can have a large impact on pharmaceutical discovery and manufacturing, as the fast identification of good solvent systems will help to test more potential drug compounds and to explore a larger number of manufacturing routes. Key aspects of the work will include: (i) developing predictive models of the physical properties of pharmaceutical compounds in a wide range of solvent mixtures, (ii) developing an algorithm for solvent mixture identification, (iii) testing these advances by working with industrial partners.
