A novel, antibiotics free and prophylactic topical in-wound applied formulation for combating biofilms and improving orthopaedic surgical wound healing
The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (SCCE), School of Biosciences (SB) and School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) at the University of Surrey are able to offer a BBSRC/NBIC funded PhD studentship. Read more
Optimisation of bone and joint cell behaviour on novel orthopaedic metal implant materials: New solutions to joint implants design, manufacture and biological testing. (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Racey)
Testing of novel orthopaedic surfaces for-. Biocompatibility. Antimicrobial activity. Read more
Development of a physiologically relevant platform to inform clinical practice and limit antimicrobial resistance in orthopaedic implants
The World Health Organisation’s “Global Action Plan (GAP) on Antimicrobial Resistance” emphases awareness, education, and prevention, as well as the need for optimisation of current antimicrobial therapies. Read more
PhD Studentship in Orthopaedic Implant Engineering
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of orthopaedic implant engineering, leading to the award of a PhD degree. Read more
Computational simulation of the wear process of orthopaedic joints
Orthopaedic joints such as hips and knees are now a relatively common operation. However, they are essentially plain bearings and so are subject to wear and friction. Read more

Development of micro-incubator OCT/ OCE bioreactor system to engineer a robust musculoskeletal tissue model
Achieving adequate musculoskeletal tissue healing is one of the most challenging factors in the repair of orthopaedic tissues. The problem of hard-to-soft tissue fixation is the major cause of failure of replacement grafts and leads to further musculoskeletal degeneration e.g. Read more
Evaluating the efficacy of interventions for idiopathic toe-walking in children. Research proposal for prospective DPhil student (3-year project) (NDORMS 2024/8)
Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a common, exclusionary diagnosis to describe children with minimal or no heel contact to the ground during walking. Read more

Improving the detection of Developmental Hip Dysplasia in Infants
Description. Developmental Dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a problem of the hip in babies. Babies can be born with a hip that is completely out of the socket (‘dislocated’), or one that wobbles in and out (‘subluxes’). Read more
Creating novel testing technologies for patient specific fracture fixation devices
Applications are invited for a three year self-funded Postgraduate Research project, to be undertaken at Aston University. The successful applicant will join an established experimental group working on biomaterials for orthopaedic implants. . Read more
Antibacterial scaffolds
One of the common issues in orthopaedic surgery is bacterial infection of the surgical site after a surgical procedure. Read more
