Clean measurements from messy microscopy images
Optical physics has brought remarkable advances to biological imaging (confocal microscopy, superresolution microscopy, light sheet microscopy…), but imaging alone is not enough without quantitative analysis of the image data (for instance. Read more
Molecular and Topological Modelling of Biopolymer Networks
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
This fully funded PhD project focuses on developing theoretical and computational models to understand biopolymer networks, essential for systems such as intracellular condensates, extracellular matrices, artificial hydrogels, and biological materials like silk. Read more
Investigation of Genome Editing Events by Fanzor through Molecular Dynamics and Machine Learning
The discovery of Fanzor, a novel class of programmable RNA-guided DNA endonucleases found in eukaryotes, has opened up new venue for precise genome editing. Read more
Articular Cartilage: ageing, hydration and energetics
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease afflicting articular joints such as at the hip and knee. Over 200,000 knee and total hip arthroplasty procedures take place yearly in the UK alone. Read more
A computational fluid dynamics pipeline for predicting thrombus formation: enhancing the planning of mitral heart valve surgery
This PhD targets a gap in healthcare technology. To support the planning of heart valve surgery, it will focus on developing a numerical model for the formation of thrombus in blood (‘blood-clot’). Read more

Faculty of Science URSA PhD Project: Piezoelectric-mediated cardiomyocyte activity and tissue formation
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Targeting mitochondria biogenesis as a new stategy in cancer therapy
This project is one of 17 four year PhD Studentships funded by Medical Research Scotland (MRS) (https://www.medicalresearchscotland.org.uk) to be delivered jointly by the named University and External Partner Organisation (EPO). Read more
Advancing Women's Health Research with Next-Generation Microfluidic Technologies to Identify Ovarian Cancer Disease Signatures
PhD Project Brief. Advancing Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics with Microfluidic Technologies. Overview. Ovarian cancer causes 150,000–200,000 deaths annually, primarily due to delayed diagnosis from subtle early symptoms. Read more
Discovering the determinants of host tropism of an emerging livestock pathogen
An evolutionary arms race for supremacy exists between viruses and their hosts’ immune systems. Viruses rely on cellular resources and machinery for their replication, and cells defend themselves from viruses by recognising and blocking infections. Read more
PhD studentship in Computational Physics/Chemistry
About us. The Agudo-Canalejo and Pal labs at UCL are based in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The Department is one of the UK’s leading departments in its field with a large, international research community. Read more
Mechanochemical feedback during developmental patterning and morphogenesis
During morphogenesis cell size, shape and spatial organization undergo dramatic changes, culminating in the reorganization of form at the tissue level. Read more
Biophysics of the epithelial barrier function
The Charras lab focuses on understanding the interplay between cytoskeletal organization, intercellular adhesion and the mechanics of cells and tissues. Read more
Enhancing Marine Biodiversity Through Repurposing Manmade Structures with Secondary Coastal Flood Defence Benefits
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Manmade marine structures, such as decommissioned cooling water intake tunnels from power stations, represent significant infrastructural assets that can be repurposed to address pressing environmental challenges. Read more

EASTBIO: Investigating the role of tissue mechanics in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition
Background. During tumour progression, cancer cells undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), where they leave the primary tumour and migrate, forming metastasis elsewhere in the body. Read more
