About company
The SSPC transcends company and academic boundaries and is the largest research collaboration in Ireland, and one of the largest globally, within the pharmaceutical area. The SSPC supports over 250 active members, across academia and industry on a national and international basis. The SSPC builds upon the success and foundations of the Solid State Pharmaceutical Cluster (2007-2013), which was funded by Science Foundation Ireland’s Strategic Research Cluster programme. The Solid State Pharmaceutical Cluster research programme focussed exclusively upon the crystallisation stage of the manufacturing process. Within the pharmaceutical industry, this stage is the most challenging aspect of manufacturing, as there is a significant lack of fundamental understanding of the science and engineering challenges at this stage of the process.
