Last year, MACSI in collaboration with SSPC, SFI Research Centre for Pharmaceuticals at the University of Limerick announced its partnership with Varda Space Industries in the US. Pharmaceutical compounds often crystallize in two or more forms, called polymorphs. If only one of the polymorphs has desirable medicinal effects, then there are […]
Read moreMarch 2020 changed the lives of everyone around the around. We were all worried about the spread of COVID-19, fascinated with R number and hoping lockdowns would not last long. Working in the background was the UL team from MASCI (Mathematics Applications Consortium for Science and Industry) who as part […]
