Biography

Krzysztof J. Paluch is an Assoc. Prof. in Medicines Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Director of Postgraduate Studies and Dep. Assoc. Dean of Research and Innovation in Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Bradford.
Krzysztof is a pharmacist with a particular interest in pharmaceutical technology, pharmaceutical sciences (PhD, Trinity College Dublin, 2011) and project management (Assoc. Project Manager). 
His research interests focus on synthesis, physicochemical and biopharmaceutical characterisation of drugs particularly pro-antibiotics and pro-antioxidants. Krzysztof has expertise in screening and characterisation of novel salts, co-crystals and characterization of amorphous forms. Process technologies applied in his research group comprise; production of nanoparticles, spray drying, freeze-drying, hot-melt extrusion, tabletting and others. Krzysztof has supervised 8 PhD students.
Krzysztof teaches undergraduate and postgraduate programmes namely: Pharmacy, Clinical Sciences and Pharmaceutical Technology and Medicines Control MSc. Krzysztof developed and as a Programme Lead oversees the delivery of Social Sciences Research for Healthcare Programme affiliated with White Rose Social Sciences Research Doctoral Training Partnership. 
In his role as the Director of Postgraduate Studies In the Faculty of Life Sciences, he oversees the wellbeing and successful progression of PhD Students in Schools of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, Chemistry and Biosciences, Optometry and Vision Sciences and Archaeology and Forensic Sciences. 
As Dep. Assoc. Dean of Research and Innovation, Krzysztof has shared responsibility for the development and delivery of the Faculty's Research and Innovation strategy promoting interdisciplinary themes of Interface of Chemistry, Biology and Materials, The Life Course, Computational and Data-driven Science and, Health Society People and Place.
 
Currently, Krzysztof's research group comprises four research students:
