Dr Katharina Edkins

School of Pharmacy

Dr Edkins’ group work in the field of supramolecular pharmaceutics and molecular recognition towards understanding the factors leading to multiple crystal forms. 

We are especially interested in the appearance of pre-nucleation clusters in solution before crystallisation as well as the impact of molecular shape on the solid-state landscape. We apply a plethora of solid-state analytics along with solution spectroscopy and neutron scattering techniques to fully understand the solid state towards the formation of polymorphs, solvates/hydrates and co-crystals
