• DFG-Emmy Noether Junior Research Group: "High-pressure methodologies to discover novel physical forms and promote structural variation amongst biological and pharmaceutical materials"

  This project focusses on studying the effects of high pressure, usually up to 2 GPa (~20000 atmospheres) on the crystal structure and crystallisation behaviour of materials of biological and pharmaceutical interest. The principal aims here are: a) enable a thorough exploration of the crystallisation space of an active pharmaceutical ingredient; b) quantify and understand the importance of molecular flexibility and dynamics in promoting hydration and conformational changes in small biomolecules.
