15 PhD Positions Available – MSCA Doctoral Network IDEAS | Amorphous Pharmaceutical Materials

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description 15 fully funded PhD positions are available across Europe within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network IDEAS (Improving Drug Efficacy with next-generation Amorphous materials and trained expertS). About the IDEAS Doctoral Network . The IDEAS project is a European research and training network funded through the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks programme and coordinated by the University of Lille (France). Approximately 70–90% of new chemical entities and drug molecules under development suffer from poor aqueous solubility , representing a major challenge for pharmaceutical development. Since the early 2000s, amorphous formulations have emerged as one of the most promising strategies to improve drug solubility and bioavailability. Yet, their intrinsic physical instability continues to limit their widespread industrial application. IDEAS aims to change this! . By bringing together leading expertise in materials science, physics, chemistry, pharmacy and pharmaceutical technology , IDEAS will develop a more rational and science-based understanding of the amorphous state and move beyond the largely empirical approaches currently used in pharmaceutical development. The network brings together a strong European consortium of 10 beneficiaries (7 universities, 2 large companies and 1 SME) together with 6 associated partners , including acad
