PhD Opportunities in Microfluidics in Hungary

This fully funded PhD project, “Worms on a Chip: Automated C. elegans Biosensing for Rapid Antimicrobial Resistance Diagnostics,” will develop a microfluidic platform for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The research uses the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a whole-organism biosensor. The project will combine microfluidics, biosensing, automation and microbiology to create an approach for faster antimicrobial resistance diagnostics and susceptibility assessment. The PhD is hosted b...

Rowan University’s Department of Mathematics is offering fully funded PhD positions in applied mathematics through the BioComp Group, led by Dr. Guansheng Li. The project focuses on multiscale modeling of blood flow and red blood cell mechanics. Doctoral researchers will investigate biological and fluid-mechanical processes across multiple scales, combining mathematical and computational approaches with scientific machine learning.

Heidelberg University Hospital’s Center for Integrative Infectious Disease Research (CIID) is seeking a PhD student to work within the Excellence Cluster SynthImmune and a DFG-funded research project on HIV pathogenesis and human lymphoid models. The doctoral researcher will develop and optimize human lymphoid organ culture systems, including tonsil explants and aggregate cultures, to investigate adaptive immune responses and HIV-1 infection. Using tissue-engineering and microfluidic methods, th...

This four-year PhD project investigates why urinary tract infection prevalence increases substantially during menopause. It examines how menopause-associated hormonal changes affect the urinary tract environment and alter competition between bacterial species in the distinctive flow conditions of the bladder and urethra. The project will explore how changes in hormone signalling may disrupt microbial communities and their interactions with the host. A central focus is microbial communication: ho...

[4-year PhD studentship with annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate (currently £21,805 per year) plus £1,000 per year enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full programme.] This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester investigates why urinary tract infections become more prevalent during the menopause and how hormone-related changes alter competition between bacterial species in the bladder and urethra. The project takes an interdisciplinary approac...
