Analytical and forensic chemistry flasks

Doctoral Training Centre in Synthetic & Medicinal Chemistry

We're working with GSK to establish and grow a bespoke collaborative programme within GSK-based drug discovery and development functions, leading to a framework which enables GSK employees and other hosted researchers to work towards a higher research degree through their work-based projects.

Centre for Process Analytics & Control Technology (CPACT)

 CPACT brings together chemical and process engineers, analytical chemists, control systems engineers, chemometricians, signal processing engineers, and statisticians, from academia and industry, to research solutions to generic problems in process monitoring and control.
