Job Summary
Are you passionate about advancing pharmaceutical manufacturing through process simulation and data analysis We offer an exciting thesis opportunity to develop and apply roller compaction simulation for early drug product development optimizing process parameters material characterization and formulation designall while leveraging digital tools and in silico modeling to drive innovation in drug development!
About AstraZeneca:
AstraZeneca is a global science-led patient-centredbiopharmaceutical company focusing on discovering developing andcommercializingprescription medicines for some of the worlds most serious diseases. Butweremore than a global leading pharmaceutical company. At AstraZenecawerededicated to being a Great Place to Work and empowering employees to push the boundaries of science and fuel their entrepreneurial spirit.
About the Opportunity:
As a Thesis Worker at AstraZenecayoullfind an environmentthatsfull of unique opportunities and exciting challenges. Hereyoullhave the opportunity to pursue your areas of interest whilst equally developing a broad skillset and knowledge base to get the best out of your working on meaningful projects to make an impact and deliver real value for our patients and our business.
Thesis work description:
This project will advance the use of roller compaction simulation to accelerate drug product development. Miniaturization significantly reduce drug substance usage making drug product development available earlier and at a lower cost. You will investigate roller compaction process design and key process parameters optimization using miniaturized simulations . Material characterization methodsincluding particle size distribution and flow propertieswill be used to evaluate comparisons between processes. The project can also employ digital tools for thorough data analysis and process modelling to support the development of innovative manufacturing strategies.
Key Objectives:
- Utilize miniaturized roller compaction simulations to investigate and optimize full scale process.
- Evaluate and compare material characterization methods such as particle size distribution and flow properties to inform process development.
- Map integration of roller compaction simulation into the formulation development workflow.
- Employ digital tools and analytics to assess and interpret process data effectively.
- Combine simulated trials with in-silico modeling to enhance process understanding.
- Support the development and implementation of innovative manufacturing strategies by leveraging simulation and modeling insights.
