PhD defense of Erik Sonntag

Many congratulations to Erik Sonntag for successfully defending his PhD thesis titled “Robotic compounding line for continuous manufacturing of personalised formulations” carried out in collaboration with Zentiva under the auspices of The Parc. Erik’s pioneering work resulted in the design and construction of a modular manufacturing line capable of producing patient-specific batches of Multi-Unit Dosage Systems (MUDS) capsules containing fully programmable combination of sub-units, enabling the personalisation of dosage strength, drug release profiles and multi-drug combinations according to the patient’s specific need. The technology has been patented and is the subject of on-going technology transfer.
