Understanding, prediction and control of polymorphism in pharmaceuticals.

拟议的研究将通过更好地了解多态现象，导致更高效的药品生产，并将加强专利的确立和保护。这项工作将在其他领域继续进行，如颜料、染料和炸药的制造。该项目使用方法论在原子到纳米级阐明当地的结构和功能，澳大利亚在这方面处于世界领先地位。该项目将进一步提高我们在这一领域的地位，并将在与澳大利亚同步加速器和新的研究反应堆Opal的未来开发相关的领域提供极好的研究培训机会，该反应堆将于2007年开放。

The proposed research will lead, through a better understanding of polymorphism, to more efficient production of pharmaceuticals and will enhance the establishment and protection of patents. The work will have flow-on in other areas such as the manufacture of pigments, dyes and explosives. The project uses methodology for the elucidation of local structure and function at the atomic to nanoscale level in which Australia is a world leader. The project will further enhance our standing in this field and will provide excellent research training opportunities in areas particularly pertinent to future exploitation of the Australian Synchrotron and the new Research Reactor OPAL, which open in 2007.
