More about the position
The proposed research aims to advance two complimentary approaches of improving current sustainability status in drug discovery and preformulation:
i. Develop a novel in vitro biopharmaceutical method for drug R&D
ii. Support its implementation into industrial drugability pipelines
In this project, the candidate will work on the validation of a new microfluidic dissolution-permeation assay for biowaivers, i.e., a regulatory drug approval process when the application, i.e., the dossier, is approved on the basis of in vitro evidence rather than in vivo. During the project the candidate will prepare and test prototypes of solid dosage formulations, e.g., but not limited to, powder mixtures, granules and micro tablets, SEDDS, with the new microfluidic system and compare the data with the in vivo literature available. The candidate will work on optimization of the dissolution conditions, e.g., pH, temperature, ion strength, additives, fluid flow conditions and use of biorelevant dissolution media.
The project will be carried out in partnership with the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), Department of Pharmacy, and Evotec SE, a world-leading drug discovery and development company. The candidate is expected to spend a period of 3 months (minimum) at UCPH and at Evotec’s research facilities in Verona (Italy).
The candidate will have the chance to become an active member of the NordicPop network, a unique Nordic University hub (https://nordicpop.ku.dk/ ).
With this project we aim to promote the implementation of the 3Rs principle (Refine, Reduce and Replace) in animal testing which is a key goal of the European Union.
