Biography
Ghazala is part of the Scientific Leadership Team at the CCDC. Ghazala manages the Pfizer Solid Form Design Centre Team where part of her role includes applying the latest knowledge-based informatics techniques to drug development compounds. Ghazala also leads the Crystal Form Consortium, a collaborative venture bringing together scientists from major pharmaceutical industries around the world.
Working to leverage the vast wealth of structural knowledge in the CSD, the Consortium’s primary goal is to provide structural informatics tools and insights to address challenges relating to polymorphism, stability, and solid form selection during different stages of the drug development process. Ghazala has a keen interest in Crystal Engineering, covering a range of topics including polymorphism, co-crystal design, fundamentals of intermolecular interactions, crystallisation, and the importance of molecular self-assembly in the nucleation of crystalline phases.
