PhD Scholarship project: Engineering biology approaches to mammalian cells

The Ceroni lab at Imperial College London, situated within the Department of Chemical Engineering and closely affiliated with the Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein, the National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre, and the EEBio programme grant, is recruiting outstanding PhD candidates. The research focus is on applying engineering biology to mammalian cell engineering, with the aim of developing host-aware bio controller designs and advancing cultivated meat applications. This interdisciplinary project sits at the intersection of synthetic biology, biotechnology, and chemical engineering, and is ideal for students interested in cellular agriculture and alternative protein technologies. The lab offers a collaborative environment with access to cutting-edge facilities and is part of a vibrant research community dedicated to sustainable protein innovation. Candidates will have the opportunity to contribute to pioneering research that addresses global challenges in food sustainability and biomanufacturing. Funding details, eligibility requirements, and application deadlines are not specified in the current announcement.
