Australian Postgraduate Award in Pharmaceutical Science

Scholarship Description

This scholarship is funded by an ARC Linkage-projects grant and will provide support for 3 years on a full-time basis for a research project leading to a PhD. Many macroscopic aspects of pressurized Metered Dose Inhaler (pMDI) for respiratory disease are recognized, but are yet to be understood at the basic level and accordingly exploited. In particular, the droplet charge mechanism in non-aqueous pMDIs remained elusive. Currently, although a wide range of drugs are commercially available as pMDIs, the efficiency of these systems is poor, with most devices delivering less than 20 per cent to the lung. An insight into these systems is crucial to successfully enhance the performance of aerosol formulations in industry, ultimately translating into superior patient therapy. This project will create a new generation of inhalation medicines. Please refer to scholarship website (below) for further information and application instructions.
