This thesis explores the pivotal role of crystal engineering and multi-component crystallization in enhancing the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients and other compounds. The research focuses on developing crystal engineering techniques to improve the stability of liquid compounds and addresses the challenges posed by unfavorable reaction equilibria in enzyme-catalyzed biosynthesis of enantiopure chiral amines through in situ product crystallization. Special attention is devoted to overcoming the difficulties in crystallizing chiral compounds and optimizing separation methods based on salt formation and cocrystallization.
Jury members :
- Prof. Tom Leyssens (UCLouvain), Prof. Patricia Luis Alconero (UCLouvain) (Supervisors)
- Prof. Eric Gaigneaux (UCLouvain) (Chairperson)
- Dr. Koen Robeyns (UCLouvain)
- Prof. Johan Wouters (UNamur)
- Prof. Stijn Van Cleuvenbergen (KULeuven)
Pay attention : the public defense of Camila CARO GARRIDO will also take place in the form of a videoconference
