biomaterials PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 61 biomaterials PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Multifunctional Biomaterials to Combat Infection and Modulate Inflammation
Implantable medical devices are commonplace in modern medicine (e.g. joint replacements, stents, artificial heart valves, etc.), and are of increasing interest in the field of regenerative medicine. Read more
Four-year Full-time PhD Scholarship, University College Dublin & Bláfar Ltd, Enterprise Partnership Scheme
Prof. Wenxin Wang’s Lab at University College Dublin (UCD), in collaboration with Bláfar Ltd, is offering a 4-year PhD opportunity under the Enterprise Partnership Scheme (Research Ireland). Read more
Smart, responsive biomaterials for infection-resistant medical devices
A major problem associated with medical devices is infection. With infection rates of approaching 100% in some devices, ways to prevent formation of bacterial biofilm on medical device surfaces are urgently required. Read more
Biophotonic materials: light sensing in smart biomaterials using cyanobacterial photoreceptors.
Materials that sense, generate, and manipulate light are ubiquitous in modern technology, from photovoltaic cells, telecommunications, phone screens, medical devices, and even wearable materials. Read more
4D printed Biomaterials in cancer therapeutics
According to WHO, cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with nearly 1 in 6 deaths been due to cancer. The principal modes of cancer management are surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and pharmaceutical agents. Read more
New Polymer Biomaterials to Expand and Deliver Cells with Animal-Free Technologies
This PhD will seek to discover new polymeric biomaterials which can modulate stem-cell function, and aid in their delivery to either patients, or as cell factories. 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
Graphene oxide as growth factor carriers for meniscus tissue engineering
Damage to the meniscus of the knee leads to increased risk of osteoarthritis. Tissue engineering of a healthy meniscal fibrocartilage offers the opportunity to restore function. Read more
Adaptive and Predictive Computational Modelling of Biomaterials: A Digital Twin Framework for Next-Generation Personalised Healthcare (Ref: SF-UF-SL-2024)
The healthcare industry is rapidly embracing digital technologies to deliver data-driven, personalised medicine. Digital twins—computer-based, or in silico, models that replicate physical objects or systems—provide a realistic environment for studying diseases, testing new drugs, and developing medical devices. Read more
Mechanics of biomaterials (Ref: UF-VS-2024-1)
Please note that this project is not University-funded. You will need to secure external funding to cover your tuition and living expenses. Read more
Biofabrication approaches for the development of smart multifunctional biomaterials for corneal healing
Project details. Corneal disease affects millions worldwide, especially in developing countries where it's more common. While treatments like corneal transplantation and the use of membranes such as the amniotic membrane (AM) have shown promise, AM is expensive and not always available. Read more
Four-year Full-time PhD Scholarship, University College Dublin & Branca Bunús Ltd, Enterprise Partnership Scheme
Prof. Wenxin Wang’s Lab at University College Dublin (UCD), in collaboration with Branca Bunús Ltd, is offering a 4-year PhD position opportunity under the Enterprise Partnership Scheme (Research Ireland). Read more
