IRT 2: Controlling Crystallization of Organic Molecules in Polymer-Based Formulations is a project directed by Torsten Stelzer, professor at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences , focused on studying crystallization, polymorphism, and molecular mobility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in polymer matrices to develop polymer-based formulation strategies. Experiments and simulations will be performed to characterize the crystallization, dynamics, and structure of APS.
IRT2 is composed by three projects:
Crystallization and Polymorphism of APS:
Team: Dr. Stelzer, Dr. López, Yu. and Dr. Zhang.
Dynamics in APS:
Team: Yu, Dr. Voyles, Dr. Santiago, Acevedo and Ediger.
Structures of APS:
Team: Dr. López, Dr. Stelzer, Yu, Dr. Voyles, and Dr. Benmore.
