An MRI-constrained computational model of the preterm-born lung

This PhD position at the University of Auckland focuses on the study of decreased lung function and prematurity-associated lung disease (PLD), which are common outcomes following preterm birth (defined as birth before 37 weeks’ gestation). The project aims to investigate the mechanisms, risk factors, and potential interventions related to PLD in children born prematurely. The research will likely involve clinical data analysis, laboratory work, and collaboration with pediatric and respiratory health experts. The University of Auckland provides a supportive environment for research in child health and developmental biology. Funding details, eligibility criteria, and application procedures are not specified in the current description. Interested candidates should monitor the university’s website or contact the relevant department for further information.
