Miri Zilka
Hello and welcome! My name is Miri and in September 2013 I
came from Israel to Warwick to start my PhD in the solid-state NMR
group. I'm a theoretical physicist in background and in heart, and a
true believer in combining theoretical and experimental work.

My Project: Detailed structural analysis of excipients, active ingredients, and their release mechanisms and rates in drug formulations using solid-state NMR
Understanding the dissolution mechanism of active pharmaceutical ingredient from its formulation matrix is a crucial part in the development of a new drug. The dissolution process, as well as the crystallization process, are both intimately correlated with the ground state energy surface of the crystalline state.My goal is to use state of the art solid state NMR experiments, first principles calculations, and simulations to promote better understanding of dissolution in APIs and its relation to crystal structure, polymorphism and interaction energy.
