Modelling of Multi-Phase Transport Processes to enable automation in manufacturing
The Challenge The MOMEnTUM Spoke project is centred along diagnostic themes in specific areas of process modelling to enable control and automation within “substance” processing. The manufacture of pharmaceutics, biopharmaceutics, and chemical products is complex and...
De Souza Process – Pregabalin: Transformed Crystallization
The Challenge and background The recrystallization of Pregabalin in Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and Water is complex and does not follow a normal linear relationship. Pfizer circumvented this problem by elaborate azeotropic distillations to change solvent ratios post...

Microcrystalline cellulose crystallinity
Investigating relationships between microcrystalline cellulose crystallinity and moisture sorption capacity McCrystal is a free-access calculator of the crystallinity index of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) from Raman spectral data. McCrystal also performs spectral...
Scale-up Systems working with SSPC
The purpose of the project To investigate the hydrodynamics of commonly used lab-scale reactor systems under typical operating conditions. Predictions of mixing using traditional chemical engineering relationships become more difficult as the scale of operation...

Improving the efficiency of biotherapeutic production
Proteomic and Post-translational modification characterisation of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to improve the efficiency of biotherapeutic production Paula Meleady's research is based on the ‘Proteomic and Post-translational modification...
Multi-Product Resin Reuse for Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing
SSPC are working with Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Janssen, BMS and MSD to address the global protein A resin shortage on a project led by Prof. Sarah Hudson, University of Limerick. Prof. Hudson and her team will investigate the multi-product use of a resin in downstream...
Confirming chemical in some vaping devices generates toxic gas
The Challenge Almost 3,000 cases of vaping-related lung illness have been reported in the US, with 68 confirmed deaths in 29 states. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found the vitamin E acetate was strongly linked to the outbreak. However, some...
Developing novel applications of Hexafrass
IP Development Hexafly Biotech signed the licence agreement with Maynooth University (Professor Kevin Kavanagh) to collaborate and commercialise the know how and outputs of an SSPC – funded project to develop novel applications of Hexafrass. The application of...
Crystalline Drug Substances for Improved Medicines
The research Our research is aimed at the design and study of new solid-state forms of APIs. We are particularly interested in the application of sublimation as a solvent-free (i.e. green) method to control the polymorphism and crystal morphology and to obtain new...
