Wound-on-a-chip: a new model for regenerative medicine applications

To celebrate the University’s research successes, the University of Hull is offering a full-time UK/EU PhD Scholarship or International Fees Bursary for candidates applying for the following project.

Closing date: - 13th March 2017

Studentships will start on 25th September 2017

Wounds that fail to heal are a worldwide unmet clinical need. Current therapies are often ineffective, largely because not enough is known about how wounds normally heal or what goes wrong in pathological wounds, such as leg ulcers or pressure sores.

To address this problem, the University of Hull, in partnership with the locally-based global leader in Advanced Wound Management, Smith and Nephew, have established the Hull PhD Cluster for Advanced Wound Care. A total of 7 multi-disciplinary PhD studentships are available to start in Sept 2017.

You have the exciting opportunity to join this cohort of PhD students working towards the common goal of applying cutting-edge research techniques to better understand and develop new ways to improve wound repair. The cluster incorporates a pool of experienced supervisors who are experts in wound healing, biomedicine, biomedical engineering and chemistry. All projects also include industry supervisors and provide unique industrial training opportunities.

This project will be on wound-on-a-chip: a new model for regenerative medicine applications.

Full-time UK/EU PhD Scholarships will include fees at the ‘home/EU’ student rate and maintenance (£14,121 in 2016/17) for three years, depending on satisfactory progress.

Full-time International Fee PhD Studentships will include full fees at the International student rate for three years, dependent on satisfactory progress.

PhD students at the University of Hull follow modules for research and transferable skills development and gain a Masters level Certificate, or Diploma, in Research Training, in addition to their research degree.

Successful applicants will be informed of the award as soon as possible and by 8th May 2017 at the latest.
