Modelling hydrogels and fractal materials
Research Group:
School of Computing
There is growing interest in the importance class of materials known as hydrogels, which are formed by the aggregation of small building blocks until they gel (or percolate) across the sample. Read more
Exploring the role of matrix encapsulation on early developmental decisions using non-animal sourced hydrogels
A PhD studentship in stem cell biology and disease modelling is available in Prof Merry’s group (. https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/medicine/people/cathy.merry. Read more
Functionalised Injectable Extracellular Matrix Hydrogels for Intervertebral Disc Regeneration
Project Description. This project is part of multidisciplinary team that is developing advanced extracellular matrix (ECM) derived biomaterials for use as injectables and 3D bioprinting applications for intervertebral disc regeneration. Read more
Peptide hydrogels as a long-acting multipurpose drug delivery platform for combined contraception and HIV prevention
HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in women of reproductive age worldwide. HIV and unintended pregnancies are prevalent in developing nations due to the lack of effective female contraceptive choice. Read more
Polymeric Hydrogels for Regenerative Medicine Applications
Regenerative medicine aims to repair injured or diseased tissues using a multidisciplinary approach to stimulate natural repair mechanisms or promote healing through the transplantation of cells, often the patient’s own stem cells. Read more
Bioinspired materials: strong and self-healing polymer materials
Biomaterials, for example bone and skin have a remarkable capacity to self-heal. These natural materials are hydrogels, however synthetic hydrogels cannot perform the same task as they are inherently weak and not usually self-healing. Read more
Development of peptide hydrogel as an anticancer drug carrier
Growth in nanotechnologies can now be exploited to enable engineering of new drug delivery systems for enhancing the entrapment of drugs in nano-sized structures with tailored physical properties to suit therapeutic need. Read more
Engineering the Human Osteocyte Lacunocanalicular Network In Vitro
Synopsis. We are seeking a full-time, highly motivated PhD candidate to perform cutting-edge research in bone tissue engineering at the Queensland University of Technology in the School of Biomedical Sciences. Read more
Development and optimisation of human skin mimicking tribological probes: Sustainable materials for use in hair care
A PhD studentship is available to start in October 2022 start as a Warwick industrial Fellowship in partnership with Unilever, Port Sunlight funded jointly by the University of Warwick and Unilever. Read more
Suspended additive manufacturing of complex wounds for precision therapy testing
Working in Partnership with industry. To apply for this programme, please visit. www.advanced-biomedical-materials-cdt.manchester.ac.uk. Read more
MVLS/EPSRC - Nanovibrational control of chondrogenic differentiation
Research Group:
Institute of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology
Technologies to help support the quality of life of the ageing population are a major research focus. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic joint problem in the developed world – the annual cost of to the UK alone is £13B. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of airway wall remodelling in fungal sensitised asthma
Respiratory diseases such as asthma are a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. For instance, according to European Union estimates, asthma and COPD alone cost the economy approximately 40 billion Euros and responsible for around 200,000 deaths annually. Read more
Characterising male reproductive tissues for the development of accurate preclinical models
Project. This project is seeking to recruit a PhD candidate to work as part of an ERC Starting Grant funded project (alongside two postdoctoral researchers and three other PhD candidates). Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Using advanced 3D bioprinting techniques to assemble complex models of the blood-brain barrier
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a complex multicellular structure that selectively regulates transport between the circulating blood and the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system. Read more
A non-invasive robotic capsule for oral delivery of peptides and proteins
While significant advances have been made in administrating these biologics through the parental routes, delivering these molecules orally remains a major challenge for pharmaceutical industry. Read more
