Analysis for amorphous materials
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
More and more new materials are being created to harness the benefits of amorphous materials. However, this can raise questions over physical stability and ways to assess for changes in these materials. As such amorphous materials present a unique challenge to pharmaceutical scientists and engineers; as well as a massive opportunity.

JPAG and the APS Materials Science focus group will be working together to deliver a joint seminar which will address the manufacturing challenges and characterisation of amorphous materials, from the joint perspectives of small and large molecule analytics and materials science.

Split across two sessions (morning and afternoon) we will look at the unique challenges and opportunity of amorphous materials through the lenses of academic and industrial approaches.

Speakers:
Dr Kofi Asare-Addo - University of Huddersfield
Dr Shane Cullen - Veranova
Prof Simon Gaisford - University College London
Dr Mridul Majumder - M2M Pharmaceuticals
Dr John Murphy - Particology Ltd
Dr Andy Robbins - AstraZeneca
Dr Luis Sousa - Hovione
Dr Gerry Steele - PharmacCryst
