biomaterial PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 15 biomaterial PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Advanced biomaterial based pharmaceutical formulations
While traditional, small molecule drugs continue to play a significant role due to their oral bioavailability, they also suffer from lower selectivity, frequently accompanied with side-effects. Read more
Biomaterial coatings with lubricious, slippery coatings for improved urinary catheter performance
Intermittent urinary catheterisation is commonly used to address chronic urinary retention in patients suffering from conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Read more
Non-invasive Therapy for Soft Tissue Reconstruction: Applications in Cosmetics and Wound Healing
Soft tissue reconstruction is emerging as an important strategy to repair and replace diseased or damaged tissue that has been compromised due to tumour removal, injury, trauma, ageing, etc. Read more
Articular Cartilage: ageing, hydration and energetics
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease afflicting articular joints such as at the hip and knee. Over 200,000 knee and total hip arthroplasty procedures take place yearly in the UK alone. Read more
Development of a novel biosorbent material for removal of heavy metals from groundwater.
The north-east has a long tradition of mining and heavy industry including steel production that stretches back more than 150 years. Read more
Novel advanced biofabrication technologies to model host-biofilm interactions in oral health
This is an exciting opportunity to undertake an interdisciplinary BBSRC iCASE PhD project using advanced biofabrication techniques, and the latest microbiome and host-biofilm interaction research methodologies, to develop a novel model of the gingival mucosa and investigate the mechanistic interactions of oral microbial biofilms with host tissues.

Creating microcarriers for improving the survival and integration of cells transplanted to the brain.
Background. For neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, where a specific cell type is lost, it is possible to consider replacing these cells to restore the lost function. Read more
Synthesis of Microcarriers for Focal Drug Delivery to the Brain
For neurodegenerative diseases, where a specific cell type is lost, it is possible to consider replacing these cells to restore the lost function. Read more
Bioinspired Nanomaterials Based Miniaturised Soft Robots for High Precision Regiospecific Drug Delivery to Malignant Tumours
Cancer is one of the top global public health challenges, estimated to have caused 10M deaths (2020) according to WHO. Throughout the years, standardised therapeutic protocols have been developed and evolved for the treatment of various types of cancers. Read more
