Dr. Raman Bahal was featured in UConn TODAY’s Meet the Researcher column.  To see what this promising new faculty member has been doing since joining UConn in 2017, click HERE

 

A recent paper authored by Dr. Rui Fang, UConn graduate now at Merck, describing her CPPR project findings was one of eight selected from the 70 papers in the second quarter of Journal of Pharmaceutical Science to be available in its Virtual Issue: Most Original and Most Significant Scientific Findings.  CPPR Faculty at Purdue University, Dr. Greg Knipp, also has a paper in the same virtual issue.  Read more at https://jpharmsci.org/most-original.

CPPR Faculty, @BodhiChaudhuri, and his research team report on the formulation parameters required for printability of tablets using inkjet processing.  They suggest several preformulation studies to assure printability and tablet performance. Read more at  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2020.119430. @KoyelSen, @ArushiManchanda, @TanuMehta, and @AnsonMa are co-authors on the @UConn Research publication.

UConn’s  @XiulingLu developed nanoparticles used in study described in Nature Cell Biology which shows a successful strategy for overcoming anticancer therapy resistance.  Read more here.

Recent graduate, Dr. Ji-Qin Lin, and her advisor, Professor Tai-Hsi @Fan Tai-Hsi, published their findings on their model of freezing dynamics in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.  For an interesting read, follow https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2020.119915.

CPPR student, @Rui Fang, now at Merck and her co-authors, @Robin Bogner, Steven Nail and the late Michael Pikal, published more of thefindings from her CPPR project.  See the article “Stability of Freeze-Dried Protein Formulations: Contributions of Ice Nucleation Temperature and Residence Time in the Freeze-Concentrate”.  Click on https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1b5id55Jf5M59 to see the full article.

The Board of Trustees of the University of Connecticut voted on April 29, 2020 to promote Kildsig CPPR Faculty, Bodhi Chaudhuri, to Full Professor effective August 23, 2020.  Dr. Chaudhuri is best known for discrete element modeling (DEM) of many pharmaceutical processes.  Recently, he has expanded his research group’s modeling expertise to modeling that couples DEM with computational fluid dynamics modeling, and artificial neural networks.

Ms. Shipra Malik, graduate student in Prof. Raman Bahal’s lab, was selected for a travel award to the RNA Society meeting by the UConn RNA Salon https://www.rnasociety.org/current-rna-salons.

 

 

Professor Bodhi Chaudhuri and his team published their findings of charge transfer in pharmaceutical mixtures as they are mixed in a V-blender in the May 2020 issue of JPharmSci.

“Amorphous solid dispersions containing residual crystallinity: Influence of seed properties and polymer adsorption on dissolution performance,” was just accepted for publication by European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
