University of Auckland PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 11 University of Auckland PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Auckland Bioengineering Institute

The Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI) does world-leading research that enhances the diagnosis and treatment of a range of medical conditions, as well as helping to improve the lives of people with disabilities or injuries. Our research makes a real difference in the world. We’ve designed sensors to diagnose stomach disease without needing invasive surgery;developed a tiny wireless implantable device to measure brain pressure and save the lives of children with hydrocephalus;and we lead the world in building digital models of the human body which will enhance personalised medicine approaches for improved diagnosis and treatment.
