The Research Center for Pharmaceutical Engineering (RCPE) is a global leader in pharmaceutical engineering sciences. We help our partners to create and manufacture advanced medicines for patients around the world, through optimizing products and processes.
To dedicated students of Pharmacy, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related disciplines, we offer an opportunity to write a paid Diploma/Master’s thesis. The project is conducted in close cooperation with industrial partner.
OBJECTIVE:
Filament-based 3D-printing is the promising green technology for the patient-centric pharmaceutical product development. Application of lipid-based excipients supports the sustainability of this technology. The aim of this master thesis is to investigate the variation in the composition of a group of lipid-based excipients and its effect on the API-excipient interaction in terms of drug loading, alteration in the solid-state and solubility of loaded API. The gathered knowledge will be used afterwards for the development of filaments via solid lipid extrusion and their 3D-printing for manufacturing dosage forms with defined solid state and release profile.
WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THIS DIPLOMA/ MASTER’S THESIS WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING:
