?? PhD Opportunity at The University of Manchester ??

Title: Development of Organ-on-Chip Models Mimicking Biological Barriers for the Assessment of Long-Acting Therapeutics!


?? Application Deadline: January 15, 2025
?? Start Date: April 2025
?? Location: Manchester, United Kingdom
????? Supervisors: Dr Christos Tapeinos, Dr Tom McDonald , Dr Ayse Latif

Join this exciting, funded PhD project to develop organ-on-chip models replicating human barriers to study the effect of long-acting therapeutics (LATs), providing valuable insights into drug transport and reducing reliance on animal testing.

?? What You'll Gain:
-Expertise in advanced techniques like fabricating and characterizing long-acting therapeutics, fluidic models, cell culture, flow cytometry, TEER, confocal microscopy, etc.
-Skills in barrier integrity testing, data analysis, and project management.
-Preparation for a successful career in academia or industry.

Eligibility:
?? Applicants are expected to hold a minimum upper second-class undergraduate honors degree (or equivalent) in material science, nanomedicine, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, pharmaceutical science, or a relevant area. Experience in organ-on-chip models and cell culture is desirable.
?? Open to UK students only
??Applications from international students won't be accepted


How to Apply:
?? Submit your CV, cover letter, and a 2–3 page project proposal on LAT assessment with organ-on-chip models.
?? Email your application to [email protected]
