PhD Studentship: Investigating Biocompatible Polymers for Crystallisation-driven Self-assembly

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,...

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,...
