PhD/MPhil Biomedical Engineering
Course Overview
This PhD program offers a unique opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in regenerative medicine, focusing on the development and clinical translation of cell and tissue engineering therapies. Students will work within a multi-disciplinary team linked to major NHS hospital trusts, gaining hands-on experience in state-of-the-art GMP facilities. The research is directly connected to pioneering clinical trials and strong industrial and international partnerships.
Key Program Highlights
- Direct collaboration with the University Hospital of North Midlands and RJAH Orthopaedic Hospital, providing a clinical context for research.
- Access to on-site GMP cell therapy laboratories for the culture and delivery of human cells.
- Involvement in the first UK MRC multi-centre trial (ACTIVE) for cell therapy in connective tissues.
- Strong industrial and international links, including an EPSRC Innovative Manufacturing Centre and partnerships with leading Chinese universities.
- Multi-disciplinary research environment with expertise in bioreactor design, magnetic nanoparticle delivery, and stem cell differentiation.
