Injectable hydrogels for cartilage repair
The aim of this project is to develop a peptide/chondroitin sulfate-based hydrogel biomaterial which can be injected into damaged cartilage and restore tissue biomechanics. Read more
Evaluation of healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) systems to monitor and protect older people via IoT trust.
Forecasts suggest that there will be more than 27.1 billion Internet-connected devices (things) worldwide by the end of 2025. Application domains of the Internet of Things (IoT) span from domestic to industry, including but not limited to intelligent healthcare systems. Read more
PhD in Mechanical Engineering: Understanding the impact of underwater cleaning on fouling control coatings
Overview. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is crucially important to meet globally agree climate/temperature targets. Maritime transport emits around 940 million tonnes of CO2 annually. Read more
Automatic segmentation of 3D ultrasound for spinal imaging in clinical settings
Research Group:
Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications (CAMERA)
The University of Bath is inviting applications for the following PhD project in the. Department for Health. commencing in October 2023. Read more
Single-Molecule Biophysics: Flow Molecular Dynamics simulation under shear condition for thrombosis and haemophilia study
Clotting and bleeding are two sides of a coin, leading to cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and haemophilia—the No.1 worldwide killer. Read more
A novel computational biomechanics framework to model vascular mechanopropagation and single cell mechanosensing
The mechanical stimuli generated by body exercise can be transmitted from cortical bone into the deep bone marrow. A mechanosensitive perivascular stem cell niche is recently identified within the bone marrow for osteogenesis and lymphopoiesis. Read more
Musculoskeletal loading from a minimal wearable sensor system during rehabilitation
Project details. “In the future… training and rehabilitation programmes will use wearable and simple imaging technologies to estimate tissue level biomechanics derived from personalised neuromusculoskeletal modelling in real-time in the real-world. Read more
Characterization of the morphological and nanomechanical properties of cortical bone
Musculoskeletal diseases have a huge impact in our ageing society, affecting dramatically the disability of patients suffering from them. Read more
Effect of bone anabolic interventions on the bone morphological and mechanical properties
Musculoskeletal diseases have a huge impact in our ageing society, affecting dramatically the disability of patients suffering from them. Read more

How does knee joint and meniscal tissue shape affect joint biomechanics and treatment choice?
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
This PhD offers training in multiple biomechanical research techniques, for an important musculoskeletal challenge. Over 4.5 million people in the UK have knee arthritis. Read more
Advanced 3D models for Cancer Research
Radiotherapy and many chemotherapies kill cells by damaging DNA. The efficiency of these DNA damaging agents differs between tumour types and individual patients. Read more
What it takes to Win’ in Wheelchair Racing. Unpicking the determinants of performance and enabling data driven performance decision making by using existing and emerging technologies?
This studentship provides an opportunity to join a world-class multi-disciplinary team at the Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport on a project designed to refine technological solutions and training design to support wheelchair racing performance. Read more

Beating mesenchymal stem cell senescence with materials that organise growth factors.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the adult bone marrow can differentiate into cells that support the regeneration of tissues such as bone cartilage, ligament and tendon. Read more
Tissue-engineering constructs suitable for reconstructive cardiac surgery in patients with congenital heart defect
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the primary cause of infant deaths in Europe and North America. The primary treatment for CHD is surgery but the major problem with surgery for such defects is the lack of living replacement materials with the capacity of growth and regeneration. Read more
Computer Vision and Deep Learning during Sport Collisions
Injuries are a major problem in sport. We aim to understand the forces applied to the human body during injury events in sport, and how this canbe prevented based on biomechanical factors such as speed, player orientation and technique. Read more
