PhD Studentship: Actuated microdevices for oral delivery of biologics

University of Birmingham

Most biological drugs cannot be given orally because of their poor oral bioavailability, necessitating delivery by injection instead. This is because features of the gastrointestinal tract that prevent infection, such as a thick mucus layer and tight epithelial junctions, also block large therapeutic molecules. Researchers have investigated various techniques to overcome these barriers, such as chemical permeation enhancers, ultrasound, and microneedles. Studies have also shown that mechanical stimulation via na...

PhD Studentship: Predictive modelling and control of low-cost droplets for micro-engineering

University of Birmingham

Advances in manufacturing science have resulted in unprecedented research and development in the design of ‘micro-swimmers’: microscopic entities that navigate fluid environments by converting some form of energy–e.g. electrical, magnetic, acoustic, or chemical–into mechanical motion. These swimmers are expanding the frontiers of micro-engineering and can be used in tasks such as chemical analysis for medical diagnostics, targeted drug delivery, cell sorting for biological assays, and chemical sensing for enviro...

PhD Studentship in Medicinal Chemistry: High-throughput Chemistry and Direct-to-Biology Testing to Accelerate Drug Discovery

Newcastle University

Award Summary 100% fees covered (home fees only) and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805 (2026/27 UKRI rate). Additional project costs will also be provided. Overview Discovering a new medicine usually means making and testing candidate drug molecules one at a time, with each cycle of design, synthesis and testing taking months. This project will pioneer a faster way to do this: new chemistry methods that let around 100 candidate compounds be made, purified and tested for biological activity to...

PhD Studentship: Computational Chemistry Driven Design of Improved Thermal Batteries

University of Birmingham

Thermal batteries (often termed primary reserve batteries) offer several key advantages over primary and secondary batteries due to their long shelf life, high temperature stability, quick activation, reliability, robustness and the fact that they are maintenance-free. Despite these many advantages, the exact mechanisms that control performance in industrially utilised thermal batteries has remained unclear for decades, and thus design principles for discovering new thermal battery materials have been lacking. I...

PhD Studentship: Bioresorbable intestinal devices with embedded resorbable sensors for gastrointestinal monitoring

University of Birmingham

Swallowable sensors are limited by how long they stay in place. A capsule passes through the gut within a day or two, so it can only take a snapshot when conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease need to be tracked over weeks without the risk of obstruction. Devices that stay longer exist, but they carry a problem. A structure designed to resist peristalsis is also a structure that can obstruct the bowel, and that risk is why intestinal residence has largely been abandoned in favour of the stomach. Attempts...

PhD Studentship: Robust Bayesian Experimental Design and Inference

University of Birmingham

Statistical methods are leveraged in many scientific applications to: specify a data collection practice (experimental design), draw conclusions from sparse and noisy data (inference), and assess uncertainty about those conclusions (uncertainty quantification). Bayesian inference and experimental design methods are increasingly used in scientific practice, and offer appealing theoretical guarantees when certain assumptions hold. However, whether these assumptions hold is difficult or impossible to verify in prac...

PhD Studentship: Unorthodox health activism in Britain after 1948

University of Strathclyde

Alternative approaches to health, and the communities and activists who promote them, grew in prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, but they have always been an important aspect of health in Britain. This project aims to further our historical understanding of these unorthodox approaches to health in Britain after 1948. What was it like to be part of these health movements? How did people become involved? What effects on everyday experiences of health did membership of unorthodox health movements create? How...
