👏 Great news! One of our papers from the CMAC Future Manufacturing Research Hub is now one of Cherd journal's top 10 trending articles in process systems engineering from last year. The paper, titled “Digital Pharmaceutical Process Design: Faster, Cost-Effective, and Sustainable Delivery of Quality Drug Substance”, demonstrates how #CMAC researchers reduced the material required for API development by an order of magnitude through digital-first process design. 🔗 Read the paper: https://lnkd.in/epMrK6Fm 🔗 Read the case study: https://lnkd.in/etmXDXCS Chemical Engineering Research and Design #Cherd #MedicinesManufacturing #ProcessDesign #Digital #APIdevelopment #DigitalPharmaceutical #QualityControl #Sustainability #CaseStudy

It was a pleasure to give Anas Sarwar from the Scottish Labour Party a tour of the #CMAC labs last week! We had some great discussions around the cutting-edge research we're doing in sustainable medicines manufacturing. 🔬✨ #Innovation #SustainableManufacturing #CMAC #ScottishLabour

🎓 Funded PhD opportunity for UK students in #CMAC's world-class facilities at the University of Strathclyde. This PhD project, titled "Hybrid Data-Driven and Physics-Based Models for Medicines Manufacturing," will be supervised by Javier Cardona and Cameron Brown. The project will explore hybrid modelling of crystallisation processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Supported by extensive datasets produced by autonomous robotic platforms, you will combine the advantages of data-driven and physics-based first principles models to enhance the performance of predictive tools for crystal nucleation and growth. 🔗 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eB2q4Mgf #PhDOpportunity #PhDStudents #ResearchOpportunity #PhDLife #AcademicResearch #PhD #Strathclyde

🔬 CMAC researcher Faisal Abbas, along with his co-authors, is excited to announce the publication of their latest research paper: 'A Self-Adaptive Fractional-Order PID Controller for Particle Velocity Regulation in a Pneumatic Conveying System'. In this paper, a novel control method is presented that dynamically adjusts the fractional orders of the integral and differential components based on particle velocity errors to prevent blockages and ensure smooth operation. Key highlights include: ✅ Adaptive control using real-time data from electrostatic sensors. ✅ Hyperparameter optimisation via genetic algorithms. ✅ Superior performance over traditional PID controllers in terms of robustness, speed, and stability. Experimental work demonstrated faster settling times, minimal overshoots, and an enhanced response to disturbances, marking a significant step forward in precision control.

PhD researchers Isra' Ibrahim and Christopher McArdle recently attended the CAMS Conference and Networking Event held at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London. The event offered valuable insights into ongoing collaborations between CAMS, industry, and academia, as well as the CAMS fellowship projects. Both researchers delivered presentations showcasing their work to an audience of academics and industry professionals. It was also a great opportunity to network and hear about the challenges faced by industry members. #PhD #Research #Networking #CAMS #IndustryCollaboration #Academia #RSC #LondonEvent #Innovation

CMAC heads to Amsterdam for Lab of the Future 2024! Famed for scenic canals, history and a certain cultural vibrancy, the city gave a warm (albeit wet and windy) welcome to the delegation of thought leaders, and scientists all driving digital transformation across the biopharma, R&D, and manufacturing landscape. Through the power of AR, our team were on hand to demonstrate our tableting data factory, a self-driving platform technology for pharma products. Sessions covered insights around optimising lab efficiency, harnessing the power of data and the challenges and opportunities of doing so. It’s safe to say, we’re all dreaming about what’s next for the ‘lab of the future!’ #LotF2024 #ittakesavillage #pharmaceuticalmanufacturing #research #collaboratetoinnovate #cmac #digitaltransformation #amsterdam Lab of the Future Catriona Clark Jonathan Moores Ashley Jackson

🌟 In this month’s edition of our "Meet Our Team" series, we are excited to spotlight Natalie Maclean, a Teaching Fellow at CMAC who plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of pharmaceutical sciences. Natalie supports training and teaching within CMAC, particularly by contributing to the training curriculum for the new EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Cyber-Physical Systems for Medicine Manufacturing (CEDAR). Learn more about Natalie’s journey and her work at CMAC in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/ecP3aq62 #CMACMeetOurTeam #PharmaceuticalScience #TeachingFellow #CMAC #MedicinesManufacturing
