Manlio Tassieri

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, and next-generation diagnostics, with a strong focus on translating mechanical measurements into biomedical insight. This is a fully funded industrial PhD lasting 42 months and supported by Soapworks Ltd / Daabon Group . The post is aimed at ambitious, experimentally minded candidates from engineering , physics , biophysics , and related disciplines. The announcement highlights curiosity, creativity, and a desire to make discoveries matter as key qualities. Deadline: 1 December 2026. How to apply: Use the application link provided in the post and submit your application before the deadline. Review the project details carefully and prepare a strong application aligned with tissue mechanics, rheology, and biomedical diagnostics.
