PhD in Biomedical Engineering - Advanced Biomaterials Design

Next generation biomaterials are key to improving the performance of biomedical devices, tissue engineering scaffolds, cell and organ models, and cell manufacturing platforms.  This PhD opportunity focuses on designing, synthesising, and evaluating new polymeric biomaterials that direct key cellular functions for a variety of applications. The PhD applicant should have a degree in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, or similar field and have a desire to apply their engineering knowledge towards answering important questions in the biomedical arena.  The applicant will need to be granted a scholarship from the University of Melbourne to support their studies.  Please contact me if you are interested in this project.
