Biomechanical Determinants of Musculoskeletal Injuries in British Army Trainees
The Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention (MSKI-PREVENT) programme, led by the Headquarters Army Recruiting and Initial Training Command (ARITC), in partnership with the University of Bath, aims to support the British Army through delivery of. Read more
Biomechanical Investigation of Tendinopathy: A Multiscale Study
Overview. This PhD project aims to address the prevalent issue of tendinopathies, which significantly impact the general population and pose substantial socio-economic challenges globally. Read more
PhD Biomechanical analysis of ceramic dental implants: numerical and experimental simulation
Ceramic dental implants were proposed as an alternative to the “gold standard” CpTi and Ti alloys due to their improved aesthetics and biocompatibility. Read more
Deciphering the role of biomechanical cues in embryonic cell fate decisions using human pluripotent stem cells
The structures that make up the human body trunk, such as the spinal cord and the vertebral column are produced during embryonic development by populations of stem cell-like progenitors (known as neuromesodermal progenitors or NMPs), which are located at the posterior of the embryo. Read more
Modelling the biomechanical networks of the lung in heath and disease
We are looking for an exceptional student to take on an exciting interdisciplinary project at the interface of biomechanical modelling and respiratory medicine. Read more
UTS HDR Scholarship (Development of biomechanical biopsy imaging for tumour tissue screening)
Label-free light microscopy with mechanical specificity is at the frontier of science and technology, promissing to revolutionise biomedical diagnostics and fundamental research. Read more
Investigating the structural optimisation of bone through computational biomechanical modelling
Bones are structurally organised to be lightweight (to minimise energy expenditure during movement), but also have sufficient strength to withstand musculoskeletal and other environmental forces. Read more
ACCE+ DLA Programme: The evolution of body size, shape and locomotor ecology in tetrapods
Body size and shape play fundamental roles in organismal function and it is therefore expected that animals may possess body proportions that are adapted to their ecological niche. Read more
Improving patient outcomes following mandibular reconstruction after oral cancer: novel finite element methods for better surgical design
Within Cheshire & Merseyside over 1,000 individuals a year are diagnosed with head and neck cancer, with some central city wards having 4 times the UK average. Read more
Understanding and improving the hailstorm resistance of crop plants. BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025 Entry
Up to 34 fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships* available to start in September 2025, across a wide range of bioscience disciplines. Read more
Unveiling the relationships between the alveolar bone mechanical and structural properties in health and periodontal disease
Project details. Periodontitis presents a significant challenge in dentistry, often leading to tooth loss due to irreversible damage to the supportive soft and hard tissues surrounding teeth. Read more
Electrifying Cells! Exploring the role of bioelectronic stimulation and bioelectric signalling, with a focus on influencing stem cell behaviour
Electrical stimulation of cells and tissues has been observed to help with healing processes, for example in bone regeneration. Within the NHS, some fracture clinics use electrical stimulation as a to promote healing, often when other methods fail. Read more
PhD in Biomedical Engineering - Adaptive Soft Wearable Robots for Rehabilitation and Daily Life Assistance
Start Date. 2025 (any month). Robotic exoskeletons have been widely used to enhance human mobility, aiding individuals with physical or neurological disorders, improving dexterity, and reducing energy expenditure during demanding tasks. Read more
How does diet affect cardiac contractility?
This is a studenship offered in collaboration between University of Birmingham, University of Coventry and an industry (Inocardia) as part of the MIBTP doctoral training programme. Read more
CENTA funded - The role of the hind limbs in pterosaur flight
Project highlights. Gain expertise in 3D digital modelling, morphometrics, photogrammetry and phylogenetics . Opportunities for data collection in key palaeontological collections in the UK, Europe, USA, China and/or Japan . Read more
