Dr Michael Chen No more applications being accepted Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

About the Project

Biomedical implants are very important to improve the quality of lives by enhancing the functionality of essential body systems, supporting damaged biological structures, or even replacing human organs. The applications range from bone tissue engineering to synthetic blood vessels.

The project to be carried out in the Institute for Bioengineering at the University of Edinburgh is going to be focused on applying polymers and nanotechnology to modify the surface of implants for enhanced mechanical properties, biocompatibility, antifouling ability, etc. The research will be predominantly on synthesizing implants followed by various surface modification.

To undertake this research, we are seeking a highly motivated candidate with established hands-on experience in biomaterials and surface science.

Funding Notes

Minimum entry qualification - an Honours degree at 2:1 or above (or International equivalent) in chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science, biomedical engineering, or cell biology, possibly supported by an MSc Degree.

Tuition fees + stipend are available for Home/EU students (International students can apply, but the funding only covers the Home/EU fee rate). Applications are welcomed from self-funded students, or students who are applying for scholarships from the University of Edinburgh or elsewhere.
