Pediatric patients need medicines dosed precisely for their age and weight, yet many drugs are only available in adult formulations. Healthcare professionals often have to split tablets, open capsules or dissolve part of their contents, a practice that risks inaccurate dosing. In this project, you contribute to 3D-printed tablets and oral films that can deliver the exact dose a child needs.
What you do
- Produce 3D-printed tablets and oral films using a 3D printer.
- Analyze the printed formulations in the laboratory, including dissolution speed and active ingredient content.
- Develop skills in pharmaceutical formulation, quality control and analytical techniques.
- Write a research report describing the full development process, from formulation design to laboratory analysis.
- Contribute, depending on your results, to a scientific publication.
Profile
You are a student in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences or Pharmacy with hands-on laboratory experience, ready to combine pharmaceutical technology with practical research.
- Enrolled in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences or Pharmacy.
- Proficiency in both Dutch and English and living in The Netherlands.
- Demonstrable laboratory experience.
- Genuine interest in pharmaceutical technology and personalized medicine.
