A UNIVERSITY of Limerick based research centre has been awarded the best pharma research centre or the third year in a row.

Synthesis and Solid State Pharmaceutical Centre (SSPC), a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) funded research centre hosted at the Bernal Institute has been recognised at the Pharma Industry Awards 2017 for its outstanding national and international industry-academia, inter-industry, and inter-academia collaborations.

SSPC offers many benefits to industry partners from research activities, including the development of scientific and technological advances, a shift in emphasis for the Irish sites within their corporations, and advanced education and training of company employees. The Centre was also shortlisted in the top four nominees for Pharma Industry Company of the Year and Partnership Alliance of the Year.

Jon O’Halloran, SSPC GM, said that “We are delighted to have won this award, as it is a great chance to celebrate the unique partnerships within the SSPC. It is a great honour that we have been recognised for our continued commitment to this type of collaboration.

The SSPC transcends company and academic boundaries and is the largest research collaboration in Ireland, and one of the largest globally, within the pharmaceutical area.

Experienced scientists and engineers in academia and the pharmaceutical industry, can link to address critical research challenges at the SSPC through its 150 active researchers and 22 industry partners.
