Description

King's College London is offering a fully funded PhD opportunity in the field of cardiovascular research, focusing on the integration of molecular imaging with new therapeutics to diagnose and prevent the development of heart failure. The project, supervised by Alkystis Phinikaridou (Reader in Imaging Biology) and Mauro Giacca (Professor, Head of School), is part of the EPSRC DLA Multiscale Medical Imaging King’s Doctoral Prize Programme and is co-funded by the King’s BHF-Centre of Research Excellence. This research will be conducted within the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine & Sciences, a multidisciplinary environment renowned for cutting-edge cardiovascular and metabolic research. The school hosts over 65 academic groups and 110 PhD students, providing access to state-of-the-art facilities for high-throughput screening, in vivo imaging, proteomics, and more. The British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence at King's brings together leading scientists and clinicians to advance heart failure research and train the next generation of researchers. The PhD project will explore heart failure, molecular imaging, cardiac fibrosis, and innovative treatments to prevent heart failure. Candidates will join a vibrant team and contribute to research themes such as discovering new therapies, experimental medicine approaches, and precision cardiovascular medicine. The programme offers a collaborative environment with strong basic-clinical interaction and a focus on mentoring and career development. Applicants should have a strong motivation for cardiovascular research and an interest in heart failure, molecular imaging, and new therapeutics. A relevant undergraduate or master's degree in biomedical sciences, biology, biomedical engineering, or a related field is expected.
