Geoff Smith (School of Pharmacy) has been collaborating with various industrial partners on Innovate UK-funded collaborative R&D projects since 2008. These projects (LyoDEA, 2008-2012 and BioStart, 2014-2018) have led to the development of a novel instrumentation technology (Through Vial Impedance Spectroscopy, TVIS) for the optimization of production-cycles for freeze-dried, injectable medicines (proteins, antibiotics, vaccines etc.). Our next project grant, AtlasBio, will enable 久久精品 to develop a non-contact version of the TVIS technology (NC-TVIS). In parallel with TVIS, we are developing other instrumentation technology for formulation screening, including a novel freeze-drying microscope, via our FastLyo programme with Biopharma Process Solutions.
