The award, supported by BOC Gases and recognises achievements, in terms of published work and impact, as well as outreach activities and contributions from PhD candidates to the Research Centre and their University was received by SSPC PhD candidates Naghmeh Kamali and Vivek Verma.
The Ninth pan-European Conference on PAT and QbD Sciences (EuPAT9) brings together pharmaceutical scientists and engineers from industry, academia and regulatory agencies to discuss recent developments and future trends in the field of pharmaceutical product and process development. The 9th EuPAT conference will focus on the status of QbD in pharmaceutical development, the latest advances in continuous manufacture and emerging developments in the manufacture and analysis of nanomedicines. Session content will describe technological developments, regulatory issues and recent experiences in drug development projects.
Congratulations to SSPC researchers on their contribution to the Process Systems Engineering for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, 41st volume. The focus of this chapter provides insight into each aspect of oral solid dosage development including pre formulation, drug product development and manufacturing.

SSPC has been busy demonstrating first hand how the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre is delivering value for the Pharma sector locally and internationally to our visitors Patrick O'Donovan, Minister of State at Finance & Public Expenditure and Reform and Senator Maria Byrne. SSPC, is a global hub of process innovation and advanced manufacturing that supports the pharma sector, a sector that is critical to Ireland’s economy.
Last Tuesday night, 15 May 2018, JJ Bowles played host to a well-attended ‘Pint of Science’ event, with speakers from UL’s Faculties of Science and Engineering as well as the Kemmy Business School. The fun and engaging evening of science-based discussion, now a regular annual event, is the result of collaborations between a number of Science Foundation Ireland national research centres including LERO, SSPC, MACSI and UL academic departments and research institutes (Faculty of Science and Engineering, and Bernal Institute) to encourage such lively discourse.
Bruce Harper, SSPC's Education and Public Outreach Officer and PhD researcher Vivek Verma spoke at the Trinity Long Room Hub, Trinity College Dublin on "Developing Future-ready Researchers: Career development and mobility in a global environment". #PhDsonthemove
Jose Abreu (Johnson & Johnson Global Head of Engineering) and Patrick Cronin (MOMEnTUM) at the annual JnJ Engineering Showcase at Thomond Park, where MOMEnTUM P1 and P2 projects won an award for best university poster presentation.
SSPC Co-Directors Prof. Mike Zaworotko and Prof. Gavin Walker have kicked off a new research project with Prof. Majeda Khraisheh from Qatar University funded by the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), which seeks to support research that addresses global grand challenges.
The Cover Feature illustrates the effect of two different zinc/ligand molar ratios on enzyme loading in the “one‐pot” aqueous synthesis of ZIF‐8‐encapsulated lipases from Rhizomucor miehei and Pseudomonas fluorescens. In their Full Paper, F. Pitzalis, C. Carucci et al. demonstrate that the different Zn/ligand (L) ratios affected both the surface area, the loading, and the specific activity of the biocatalysts. More information can be found in the Full Paper by F. Pitzalis, C. Carucci et al. on page 1578 in Issue 7, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201701984).
Regulatory Science Ireland in partnership with Dublin City University and DCU Alpha are pleased to present the second annual symposium on Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients on 09th May 2018, in Dublin, Ireland.
