Welcome to @henggroup.bsky.social Hirokatsu Yoshioka! Hirokatsu is a PhD student at @imperialchemeng.bsky.social, working on the PROCRYSTAL project. Originally from Japan, he joined us last summer for a 2-month project on paracetamol. He will now study cyclic peptide crystallisation like vancomycin.

Hi! I am Fanqi Gong, a 3rd year undergraduate student of @Imperialchemeng.bsky.social currently doing my UROP in @henggroup.bsky.social. My project focuses on performing automation of solubility measurement and crystallisation of GLP-1 analogues.

Chemical Engineering Research Showcase Join the Department of Chemical Engineering to delve into the latest world-leading research emerging from Imperial's Department of Chemical Engineering.

Later today, we will welcome Dr James Cookson, Technology Manager from @Johnson_Matthey, a key partner for #ImperialChemEng.

James will discuss how metal science is supporting the global net zero transition 💫
