PhD in Quantum Bio-Imaging and Quantum Sensing for Biomedical Applications at Heriot-Watt University Heriot-Watt University in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute and University College London in a 2027 joint PhD project supervised by Dr Silvia Santos and Dr Guillaume Charras. This funded PhD focuses on human amnioids and the mechanics and growth control of the human amniotic sac. The project investigates how form, force, fluid transport, cytoskeletal dynamics, extracellular matrix deposition, and epithelial barrier function interact to regulate tissue size and morphogenesis. Research themes include biomedica...

PhD opportunity: Epithelial Cell Fate and Plasticity at the University of Cambridge , hosted by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and led by Dr Maria P. Alcolea . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , developmental biology , and cancer biology . The Alcolea Group studies how epithelial progenitor cells behave in the mouse oesophagus and how squamous epithelial cell fate changes during homeostasis, injury, and preneoplastic mutation. The research aims to understand mutant clonal...

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...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Sheffield through the EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) , hosted by the Insigneo Institute for Healthcare Technology . The project is titled “In silico biomechanical stratification of patients with spine metastases at high risk of fracture with Photon Counting Computed Tomography and Finite Element modelling (PCCT-FE)” . It sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering , medical imaging , biomechanics , finite element modelling , and onco...

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, ...
