The PSSRC

 

The PSSRC aims to initiate and foster collaborative research between its members in all areas of the pharmaceutical solid state field by

  • forming a network with equipment and expertise for processing of pharmaceuticals with all critical unit operations and related solid state analysis
  • providing a discussion forum to exchange ideas and facilitate novel innovations 
  • providing a network to exchange members of the cluster through student and staff research visits
  • facilitating collaborations of its members in joint academic research projects and projects with the industry
