Thesis work: CFD simulation to predict the deposition of inhaled medicines in human lungs
If you're inspired by the possibilities of science to make a difference and ready to discover what you can do - join us!
Thesis type: 30 credits
Project start: January 2023
Student location: On Site, Gothenburg Sweden
A unique opportunity for a master thesis
Are you currently pursuing a master's degree with a burning interest in pharmaceutical development and computation fluid dynamics? This master's thesis project at AstraZeneca might be of interest to you!
At AstraZeneca Gothenburg, one of the focus areas is to develop medicines for the treatment of respiratory diseases e.g. asthma, COPD using pulmonary drug delivery technology. For this route, the deposition e.g. pattern and concentration, of drug particles at targeted areas in human lung is critical to the effectiveness of medicines.
The ultimate goal of this thesis is to investigate and quantitatively map the influence of critical attributes of medicines and patient profiles to drug deposition.
At AstraZeneca, all of our employees make a difference to patients' lives every day. We operate in more than 100 countries around the world and are one of Sweden's most important export companies.
With more than 2,400 employees from 50 countries, the vibrant Gothenburg site helps to support the entire life-cycle of AstraZeneca medicines, from drug discovery and clinical trials, to global commercialisation and product maintenance. Gothenburg is one of AstraZeneca's three strategic, global R&D centres, alongside Cambridge and Gaithersburg, and plays a central role in our mission to deliver life-changing medicines to patients.
Responsibilities
This thesis aims to develop CFD models towards an alternative tool to in-vivo and in-vitro methods in order to predict local deposition of drug particles in human lung.
Responsibilities include:
Developing and optimising CFD models for lung deposition on a realistic 3D geometry of human lung
Parametric study of lung deposition using the developed CFD models
Validating simulation results with available experimental data
The work is to be conducted from January to June 2023, or as agreed with the student.
Qualifications
Essential Requirements
Interest in pharmaceutical development
Experience and interest in computational fluid dynamics
Solid understanding in transport phenomena and mathematical modelling
Excellent problem solving, communication skills
Pursuing a master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline
Desirable Requirements
Skills in computer programming e.g. C++, python
