Highlights:
- This 3.5 year PhD research project is funded by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC; www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and was awarded by the Chemistry Innovation Knowledge Transfer Network to CCDC in collaboration with the
- The doctoral student will be based at UoB, which has the relevant expertise and facilities for Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP). The project encompasses an industrial placement at CCDC.
- Many pharmaceuticals are formulated as salts to enhance their physical properties. The ability to predict the polymorphs of an organic salt from its molecular structure alone would be a first step in computational screening of salt forms, accelerating the drug development process and reducing its costs. CSP of salts can be difficult because salts have, among other complexities, two independent ions in the crystallographic asymmetric unit which makes searching for potential stable crystal structures time consuming.
- Start date: 1 October 2010
