biomechanical PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

We have 18 biomechanical PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

Biomechanical signalling in human heart disease

About the Project. The human heart undergoes more than 2 billion beats throughout an individual's lifetime, with its rhythm precisely regulated by signalling events that continuously adapt to the biomechanical stress exerted on the ventricular walls. Read more

Biomechanical Investigation of Tendinopathy: A Multiscale Study

Overview. This PhD project aims to address the prevalent issue of tendinopathies, which significantly impact the general population and pose substantial socio-economic challenges globally. Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: Pre-clinical evaluation of novel regenerative medicine strategies for knee osteoarthritis

Historically, articular cartilage was considered incapable of spontaneous repair.  However, biomechanical correction in osteoarthritis (OA) using high tibial osteotomy or joint distraction demonstrated the remarkable joint to regeneration by “merely” correcting joint alignment. Read more

Biomechanics of internal fixation methods for ankle fusion

Ankle fusion is a common treatment for advanced ankle arthritis to relieve pain and improve functional outcomes. However, there is a reported non-union rate of 5-37%, requiring further surgery or an ankle replacement. Read more
