PhD in Portable Microfluidic Cell-Function Diagnostics for Measuring Health Status University of Southampton in United Kingdom

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham in cardiovascular/biomedical research. The project is titled “Decoding IL-17-mediated immune-cardiac signalling and electrical remodelling during cardiorenal stress” and is advertised by Professor Davor Pavlovic together with Asif Iqbal . This PhD is a strong fit for students interested in cardiac pathophysiology , immune-cardiac signalling , electrical remodelling , cardiorenal stress , and IL-17 -related mechanisms. The post explicit...

Applications are open for the 2026–2027 School of Biomedical Engineering at UBC–Living Systems Institute (LSI), University of Exeter PhD Student Research Visit Program. This opportunity supports PhD students in Biomedical Engineering from UBC to undertake an up to 8-week research visit at the Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter , between January and July 2027 . The visit is designed to help students build international collaborations , access new expertise and facilities , and expand ...

Exciting postdoctoral opportunity at the Francis Crick Institute in London: a fully funded 4-year Crick PACE Postdoctoral Fellowship focused on the mechanical control of pancreatic cancer stem cells. The project is proposed by Alberto Elosegui-Artola and Axel Behrens, bringing together physical sciences and cancer biology to study how mechanical cues influence pancreatic cancer stem cell behavior. This is a strong fit for researchers interested in biophysics, biomedical research, cancer stem cel...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton on metabolic health , GLP-1 receptor agonists , and pancreas–bone crosstalk . This project asks whether bone density loss seen in people taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs is caused by the medication itself or by weight loss and reduced skeletal loading. It also investigates possible pancreatic effects of long-term exposure, especially in people with excess pancreatic fat. You will work with micro-CT imaging of patient pancreatic tissue, human stem-ce...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Glasgow in Biomedical Engineering , Rheology , Biophysics , and Mechanobiology . The project asks whether the mechanics of tissues can reveal disease by measuring how biological tissues deform, flow, and relax. The research builds on i-Rheo-Indent technology to uncover mechanical biomarkers of disease through rapid, broadband viscoelastic measurements. The work sits at the intersection of fundamental physics, soft matter, biomedical engineering, ...
