Biomedical Engineering (biological engineering) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 70 Biomedical Engineering (biological engineering) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Animats - neural culture-controlled robots for closed-loop neuroscience

The project will continue research started at the University of Reading on animats - robotic platforms controlled in real time by activity of biological neuron cultures - and will investigate the methods for implementing efficient conditioning protocols. Read more

Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments

Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. Read more

Deriving functional neurons from hIPSCs

Neuronal networks grown on petri dishes encode information as electrical activity. This activity is dictated by their underlying structural and functional connectivity. Read more

3D printing spinal cords

Project Overview. This project offers an exciting opportunity to use hydrogels and 3D printing to engineer a segment of the spinal cord, which could be further developed into a transplant for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Read more

Computational modelling to understand the key drivers of placental evolution

Supervisory Team. Bram Sengers (SoE), Rohan Lewis (Medicine). Project description. This project will use computational modelling in combination with 3D multiscale multimodal imaging to improve our understanding of placental evolution, in close collaboration between Engineering and Medicine. Read more

Development of next generation electrosurgery electrode design via surface microtexturing

SELF FUNDED PROJECT. 3 years full time, start date 1st April, 1st July, 1st October 2024. Electrosurgery is a medical procedure that utilises an alternating and high frequency current (200kHz-3.3MHz) to either cut and/or coagulate tissues and achieve haemostasis. Read more

Understanding how electrical communication can regulate metabolic cycles in bacteria biofilms

Project Overview. A biofilm is a robust form of bacteria colony resistant to antibiotics. They have significant impacts on a multitude of industries impacting health and industrial processes such as in food production and water security. Read more

Development of a collaborative robot – human-robot collaboration

Robots work effectively in factories. For example, in car factories, huge robotic arms pick up car parts and join them to the skeleton of the car, working at less than millimetre and millisecond precision. Read more
