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
Optimisation of orthotic boot design to minimise in-vivo Achilles tendon loading during walking
Applications are invited for a PhD (via MPhil) studentship in Research Centre for Applied Sport Physical Activity and Performance, within the School of Sport and Health Sciences. Read more
Novel ultrasound imaging approaches for assessment of skeletal muscle structure and function in health and disease
Human skeletal muscles are composed of many fibres that, on excitation by the nervous system, contract and produce mechanical force to move the skeleton. Read more

FULLY FUNDED PROJECT - Understanding osteoblast lineage signaling contribution to cartilage and joint health.
'APPLY THROUGH INSTITUTION WEB LINK'. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disease in people over 45, yet there are no disease modifying drugs. Read more
Characterization of the morphological and nanomechanical properties of cortical bone
Musculoskeletal diseases have a huge impact in our ageing society, affecting dramatically the disability of patients suffering from them. Read more
Effect of Post-traumatic OA on the morphological and biomechanical properties of the mouse knee joint
Musculoskeletal diseases have a huge impact in our ageing society, affecting dramatically the disability of patients suffering from them. Read more
Effect of bone anabolic interventions on the bone morphological and mechanical properties
Musculoskeletal diseases have a huge impact in our ageing society, affecting dramatically the disability of patients suffering from them. Read more
Development of bioinks to bioprinit an in vitro model of the gut mucosa
This research aims to study the influence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on the onset of ankylosis spondylarthritis (AS) through 3D in vitro modelling of the synovium and gut, in healthy and inflamed states, assessing changes in cell phenotypes and cytokine production. Read more

School of Mechanical Engineering
Do you want to make a difference in patients’ lives? Are you interested in medical technologies innovation? Do you want to collaborate with industry? If… Read more
Investigating the effects of a training aid on golf putting mechanics
Please note this is a MPhil project. Golf is a popular recreational activity as well as an elite sport. It’s relatively low musculoskeletal and particularly cardiorespiratory demands make it an effective medium for maintaining exercise and mobility in the elderly population. Read more
Investigating plastic behaviour in immature bones
There are many differences in mechanical properties between immature and adult bones. While adult bones have been studied extensively, particularly in relation to non-healthy ageing and the risk of fracture, there has been a lack of study on immature or young bones and their mechanical properties.
