PhD Studentship: Development of Biocompatible 3D-Printed Artificial Blood Vessels through Multidimensional Approaches

Within the human body, the intricate network of blood vessels plays a pivotal role in transporting nutrients and oxygen, maintaining homeostasis, and supporting overall health. However, vascular diseases pose significant challenges and impact global mortality rates. There is a clinical need to develop artificial blood vessels to replace and regenerate...

The burden of medical plastic waste has become an increasingly pressing concern in recent years. The healthcare industry relies heavily on single-use plastic items due to their convenience and hygiene factors, but this has led to a significant environmental problem. Improper disposal and inadequate recycling of medical plastics contribute to pollution,...

A fully funded PhD studentship (UK tuition fees) is available in the group of Dr Arno at the University of Birmingham (group website: ) in areas of polymer chemistry with an emphasis on the development of a new range of polymers for applications in materials chemistry and nanotechnology. The project will focus on the design of new polymers that can be used...

The Centre for National Training and Research Excellence in Understanding behaviour (CENTRE-UB) is inviting applications for a Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partners Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) to start in October 2024. Increasingly, people use different personal travel modes (e.g., driving; walking; wheeling; cycling;...

The influence of plastic pollution on our environment has been well documented, however, there remains a knowledge gap between relating to how new polymers and plastics might biodegrade. To this end, we have a fully funded PhD studentship (due to eligibility criteria, only for UK applicants) that will focus on developing sustainable polymer platforms,...
