Abstract

Why the considerations for Lamivudine?
* Increasing numbers of HIV/AIDS infections on yearly basis (2.1 million new cases in 2015, UNAIDS)
* Hepatitis B infections (257 million cases globally, WHO)
* Currently FDA-approved antiretroviral therapy for the prevention and treatment of both viral infections (FDA).

Key research considerations and interests
To the best of our knowledge, no publication yet exists on continuous manufacturing of stable Lamivudine form 1. The key research question here is:
* Translate current batch crystallisation into a continuous process?
* Improve the downstream process-ability by modifying the particle properties?
* Develop miniaturise platforms for accelerated process development?
