  Polymeric Hydrogels for Regenerative Medicine Applications
University of Bath Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology
  Dr P De Bank
Applications accepted all year round
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.

  Dynamic Multi-Component Hydrogels for Anticancer Drug Delivery
University of York Department of Chemistry
  Prof D K Smith
Application Deadline: 9 January 2019
Gels play a vital role in everyday life and are easily-recognised materials with a combination of solid-like and liquid-like properties.

  Scaffolds for supporting epithelial cells
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
  Prof S Rimmer, Dr W Martin
Applications accepted all year round
Tissue engineering requires the availability of polymer materials that can support cells and the development of tissues. Many synthetic materials are tough, easily fabricated and non-toxic.

  Tissue Engineering of Functional Cardiac Tissue using a Newly Characterised Cardiac Stem Cell Population
University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease
  Dr R Oldershaw, Dr R Barrett-Jolley, Dr A P Meeson
Applications accepted all year round
We will develop a novel route to create and test stem cell-derived engineered cardiac tissue for use in heart infarct repair or in vitro drug screening.

  (BBSRC DTP CASE) Development of novel peptide hydrogel therapies for endometriosis and endometrial cancer
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Prof K Marshall, Prof A Miller, Dr D Fischer
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Background. Endometrial cancer and endometriosis are common gynaecological disorders, which arise from the uterine lining. Cancer develops by glandular cell differentiation, whilst implantation and growth of endometrial-like tissue in endometriosis induces a chronic inflammatory reaction causing pain and infertility.

  Developing preclinical models for cancer therapeutics using biomaterials and omics technologies
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Prof A Nicolaou, Dr A Tirella
Applications accepted all year round
Hydrogels are biomaterials used to prepare in vitro models used to study many biological processes. These materials can be selectively modified to present different physical, chemical and mechanical properties to mimic the ones of the extracellular matrix present in different tissues.

Type/Funding
  Injectable polymer-bound catalysts for targeted chemotherapy
Heriot-Watt University School of Engineering & Physical Sciences
  Dr F M Melchels
Application Deadline: 8 February 2019
Polymer-bound palladium nanoparticles have the potential to catalyse the reaction from harmless circulating prodrug to potent chemotherapeutic at the tumour site, thereby circumventing systemic side effects.
Details
Type/Funding
  Multiscale Determinants of Myocardial Mechanics
King’s College London School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences
  Dr D Nordsletten
Applications accepted all year round
First Supervisor. Dr David Nordsletten. Second Supervisor. Professor Reza Razavi. Understanding the health and function of heart muscle is critical to the assessment of a range of cardiac pathologies.
