This PhD project at the University of Birmingham aims to assess the impact of environmental endocrine disruptors using a cutting-edge human thyroid-liver organ-on-chip platform. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals found in the environment that can interfere with hormonal systems, potentially leading to adverse health effects. The research will utilize advanced organ-on-chip technology to model the interactions between the thyroid and liver, providing a more accurate representation of human physiology compared to traditional cell culture methods. The project will involve biomonitoring, cell culture, microfluidics, and biosensor techniques to evaluate chemical exposure and its effects on human health. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of environmental science, toxicology, and biomedical engineering. The project is designed to improve risk assessment methods for environmental chemicals and contribute to the development of safer environments.
