Job description

- Produce 3D-printed tablets and oral films using our 3D printer.
- Analyze the printed formulations in the laboratory, including dissolution speed and active ingredient content.
- Develop skills in pharmaceutical formulation, quality control and analytical techniques.
- Write a research report describing the full development process, from formulation design to laboratory analysis.
- Contribute, depending on your results, to a scientific publication.
