Inês Martins, a PhD student of CQE-IST, under the supervision of Prof. Maria Teresa Duarte, Dr. Luís Mafra and Dr. Luís Branco, was awarded with the Ludo Frevel international scholarship prize in the amount of 2.500$ for developing the project “Structural Study of New Multicomponent Crystal Forms of Neuroleptic Drugs using NMR Crystallography as a Synergestic Tool”. The work is based on the complementarity of using powder X-ray diffraction and solid state NMR for solving crystal structures.
