We have 12 Biomedical Engineering (stem cells) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students
Studying protein homeostasis in healthy and malignant stem cells
This PhD will focus on studying the protein biology of healthy and malignant stem cells of the blood system. Read more
Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer
Recent research suggests that cancer cells within a tumour represent a highly heterogeneous cell population. In particular many tumours contain small percentage of cells that share several characteristics with stem cells. 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
Developing neuroinformatic phenotypes for cerebral organoids
Human cerebral organoids are generated from stem cells, forming a brain-like tissue in the laboratory dish. When grown from patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), they offer an in vitro model for mechanistic studies of brain disorders and for personalised drug screening. Read more
Investigating the impact of psychedelic drug exposure on the human choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics using organoid models
The choroid plexus (ChP) is a vital yet understudied brain structure, responsible for secreting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and forming the blood-CSF barrier (B-CSF-B). Read more
Exploring 3D bio-printing technology for fabrication of cardiovascular tissue
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the primary cause of infant deaths. 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
Utilising an innovative anticancer formulation alongside a low-level laser (Red and Blue) tailored to specific modifications to promote anticancer effects and expedite the repair of damaged cells.
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
The application of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also recognised as photobiomodulation, uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to modulate cellular function. Read more
Bioengineering a dynamic culture platform to improve the maturity of iPSC-derived muscle organoids
About the project. Heart disease is a critical health burden and leading cause of mortality worldwide. To understand disease mechanisms and develop future treatments for heart disease, we have developed a human cardiac organoid platform derived from pluripotent stem cells. 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
Biofabrication approaches for the development of smart multifunctional biomaterials for corneal healing
Project details. Corneal disease affects millions worldwide, especially in developing countries where it's more common. While treatments like corneal transplantation and the use of membranes such as the amniotic membrane (AM) have shown promise, AM is expensive and not always available. Read more
Bio-fabricating constructs suitable for pulmonary valve replacement therapy in paediatric 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
A state-of-the art mechanically controlled bilayer membrane for periodontal regeneration
Project details: . Periodontitis presents a significant challenge in dentistry, often leading to tooth loss due to irreversible damage to the supportive soft and hard tissues surrounding teeth. Read more
