University of Birmingham PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 270 University of Birmingham PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Chemical Recycling of PET Plastic Using Thermo-Responsive Catalyst Supports

There is an urgent need to devise processes for recycling plastics, with an estimated 460 million metric tonnes of plastics being utilised worldwide in 2019 alone, of which only 10% is recycled globally, the remainder going to incineration, landfill or export. Read more

Wearable Sample Collection for Biosensing

Measurement of low abundance proteins is key for enabling early detection of diseases [1]. A widely used method for the measurement of low abundance proteins is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [2]. Read more

Identifying novel inflammatory pathways and using them to develop new therapeutics

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular immunology, chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., Atherosclerosis, psoriasis, other diseases with a chronic inflammatory component) drug discovery/ development of novel therapeutics, to join the Cardiovascular Immunology group led by Prof Ed Rainger. Read more

Investigating the impact of inflammation on cardiovascular disease

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular inflammation and immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases to join the group of Dr Asif Iqbal (Dr Asif Iqbal - Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences - University of Birmingham). Read more

Three-Dimensional Microfluidics for High Throughput Reactions and Bioassays

High-throughput reactions and bioassays allow cost-effective testing of large libraries of bio/chemical molecules for drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and industrial biotechnology. Read more

Biosensor for Point-of-Care DNA Detection

DNA detection is needed for a range of applications including clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. As target DNA is often present in very low concentrations, it is typically amplified using methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [1], before detection. Read more

Assessment of the safety of deteriorated masonry structures

We aim to revolutionize the safety assessment of deteriorated and aged existing masonry structures. The current procedure for this is based on visual inspection and limited localized non-destructive or semi-destructive testing techniques. Read more

Adaptive Signal Processing for Dynamic Environments

In recent years the cost of many sensors has decreased, which combined with increased ease of use has led to a vast increase in the number of sensors being employed to measure increasingly complex environments. Read more

Investigating platelet signalling and thrombus formation

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular cell biology to work in the group of Dr Natalie Poulter, which focuses on understanding how platelets become activated and form a thrombus. Read more

Energy Market Transition for Net Zero

As the world grapples with the urgent need to mitigate climate change and achieve a net-zero carbon emissions future, understanding and reshaping energy markets is of paramount importance. Read more
