PhD Scholarship Opportunity: Bioengineering: Dive into the innovative realm of bioengineering by joining our project to develop patient-specific osteochondral grafts. Led by Professor Hala Zreiqat, this project aims to revolutionize treatment options for diseases like osteoarthritis, offering a PhD scholarship funded by the Swiss National Foundation in collaboration with ETH-Zurich, Switzerland.
Scholarship Opportunity: Bioengineering Patient-Specific Osteochondral Grafts
Location: Biomedical Engineering, University of Sydney, Australia
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Bachelor’s degree (1st class honours or equivalent) or a Master’s degree
- Background in biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering, or stem cell biology
Description:
Human diarthrodial joints, vital for physical activity, face challenges from diseases like osteoarthritis, often leading to total joint arthroplasty. This project, under the supervision of Professor Hala Zreiqat, seeks to develop patient-specific osteochondral grafts mimicking native tissue properties. Utilizing 3D computer models and advanced bioceramic materials, the grafts will replicate native subchondral bone architecture, integrating hyaline and calcified cartilage layers.
How to Apply:
To apply, email hala.zreiqat@sydney.edu.au with your CV and transcripts. The position will be available in early 2025.
Last Date for Apply: TBD (Position available in early 2025)
