ICDD: PPXRD-18 – XRD Training for the Pharmaceutical Scientist
PPXRD-18 (Pharmaceutical Powder X-ray Diffraction Symposium) will be held at The Cambridge Crystallography Data Centre (CCDC), Cambridge, United Kingdom, from 6-9 May 2025.
The Pharmaceutical Powder X-ray Diffraction Symposium is designed to create a forum for the exchange of knowledge and cutting-edge ideas among those interested in the combined fields of XRD and pharmaceutical sciences. It typically includes a full-day workshop, followed by several important sessions focused on practical applications of X-ray analysis in the study of pharmaceutical materials. Topics include patent and regulatory issues, formulation, product development, drug delivery, polymorphs, amorphous and nanomaterials, complementary techniques, and much more.
The technical program for PPXRD-18 will begin on Tuesday, 6 May, with a one day workshop on the ICDD and CCDC Databases.
The program will continue Wednesday, Thursday, and half-day Friday, 7-9 May, with technical sessions.
Abstract submission information is coming soon. Topics will include:
- Intellectual Property Plenary
- Qualitative / Quantitative Analysis, High Throughput XRD Methods
- Structure Solution, Crystal Structure Prediction, Machine Learning
- Complex Materials Analysis (non-small molecules, excipients, peptides, nano)
- Methods
- New Materials
- Instrumentation and Complementary Techniques (XRD, Electron, RAMAN, Solid State NMR, Microwave Rotational Spectroscopy, Sources, Detectors)
- Industrial Applications
- Pharmaceutical Development
