PhD Studentship: Understanding osteogenic potential using musculoskeletal and finite element modelling University of Exeter 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...

University of Hull PhD project: Enhancing the Otago Exercise Programme to Preserve Bone Health This doctoral project will develop a more accessible exercise approach for postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis. The research builds on the established home-based Otago Exercise Programme, enhancing it with resistance bands throughout each movement and high-speed contractions designed to increase the rate of force development and skeletal loading. The approach is intended for people who...

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 ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham in Biomedical Engineering , Mechanical Engineering , and related areas. This project, Actuated microdevices for oral delivery of biologics , explores how actively controlled mechanical stimulation can help large therapeutic molecules cross the intestinal wall. The research combines oral drug delivery , mucus rheology , microfabrication , actuator design , MEMS , finite element modelling, ex vivo tissue methods, and cell culture. You will design, mi...

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...
