About the Project
In vitro tissue engineering involves the creation of replacement tissues outside the body. As such, it has the potential to alleviate the chronic shortage of biological tissue available from donors. In many applications bioreactors are used to improve nutrient transport to the tissue and to reproduce the mechanical environment that is experienced in vivo.
In this project, by consideration of cell behaviour at the microscale, tissue-scale models will be derived suitable for the investigation of the key factors influencing deformable tissue growth. These will be used to identify effective cell culture protocols, to suggest mechanisms for observed tissue growth phenomena and to provide insight into the design of bespoke bioreactor systems. A combination of numerical simulations and asymptotic analysis will be employed; comparison with experimental results from experimental collaborators will validate and inform the modelling.
Entry requirement
A first class or upper second class UK BSc (Hons) degree (or equivalent) or Masters degree in mathematics, or a subject with high mathematical content.
Eligibility
Applications can be accepted from UK/EU and also International students. The minimum English language proficiency requirement for candidates who have not undertaken a higher degree at a UK HE institution is IELTS 6.5 (with no element to be below 6.0).

Funding Notes
Full-time PhD registration is for a minimum of three years and a maximum of four years.
Home/EU tuition fees: £3,828 (likely to rise in each subsequent year)
International tuition fees: £11,300 (likely to rise in each subsequent year)
Bench fees (annual): £1800
If a student has not submitted his/her thesis by the end of year 3, he/she is required to enrol for a fourth year and pay the Completion Year Fee to enable him/her to complete and submit the thesis. The Continuation Fee is currently £365 (increases every year). No Bench fee is payable in year 4.
