Topic: crystallization

Develop crystallization and precipitation processes for peptide biopharmaceuticals in Leif-Thore Deck’s group. The doctorate combines litre-scale experimental systems, particle characterization, image-based process monitoring and automation with modelling and microfluidic insights. Research includes downstream separation and redissolution to connect particle formation with practical pharmaceutical processing. The four-year appointment offers TVöD E13 remuneration at 75% and an immediate or agreed start. Applications remain open until filled.

Develop molecules, materials and methods for ion recognition and stimuli-responsive separations. Research combines synthesis, spectroscopy and structural characterization with crystallization, solvent extraction and photochemical separation methods, alongside specialists in theory and materials. Applications are made on the employer’s recruitment portal; no closing date is stated. Initial appointment up to 24 months, with extensions dependent on performance and funding.

The episode examines what happens chemically when cooked starch cools and is reheated. Melissa and Jam discuss glucose polymers, insulin, digestion, crystallization, resistant starch, and interactions with gut microbes. They review studies involving foods such as bread, rice, pasta, and potatoes, and explore the proposed effects of repeated reheating. The discussion connects everyday cooking questions to food chemistry and the evidence behind claims about leftovers.
