Manufacturing personalized pediatric drugs via 3D printing (Otrzymywanie spersonalizowanych leków pediatrycznych metodą druku 3D)
Project leader: Marta Kozakiewicz-Latała
Team: Julia Brożyna, Marta Cielas
Student Scientific Associations Create Innovations funded by Ministry of Education and Science
Allocated funds: 58 816,00 PLN
Duration: May 2023-May 2024
Together we aim to develop and optimize new pharmaceutical materials with incorporated active pharmaceutical ingredients, with potential application in manufacturing personalized pediatric drugs using 3D printing. The design and building of a demonstration version of a novel 3D printer with a wide range of applications capable of extruding colloidal and low-melting materials are also in the pipeline. Our project arises from the limitations that present already-existing ways of drug dose personalization, needed especially in the absence of pediatric dosages on the market. New additive manufacturing technologies may become the solution, enabling the personalization of a drug in an easily-adjustable process. This project addresses the current challenges in the expansion of additive manufacturing technologies in biomedical applications.
