Fully Funded PhD in Food Science & Biochemistry: Food Structure Transformation During Oral Processing and Digestion Quadram Institute Biosciences in United Kingdom

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Food Science and Biochemistry at Quadram Institute Biosciences in the United Kingdom.

The project, “Chew on this! Understanding food structure transformation during oral processing and its impact on digestion,” will examine how physical changes during chewing affect digestion and nutrient release. The research sits at the intersection of food structure, oral processing, digestion models, human studies, and laboratory-based experimental techniques.

This is a strong fit for applicants interested in the science of how foods are broken down and how structure influences nutrient availability. The post highlights opportunities to gain experience with cutting-edge laboratory methods and to work within a research group led by Cathrina Edwards, Research Leader at Quadram Institute Biosciences.

The opportunity is explicitly described as fully funded. The application deadline is 30 July 2026. Interested candidates should use the linked project advert for full details and application instructions.
