Tissue homeostasis, repair and inflammation
September 2022
We are advertising a MRC GW4 PhD studentship for a 2023 start!
Interested in exploring the effect of microplastics on human health? Want to work on a multi-disciplinary collaborative project and learn state-of-the-art imaging and -omics approaches, using animals models as well as human cells?
We have an exciting, inter-disciplinary PhD project available on the brilliant MRC-funded GW4 DTP Programme for a September 2023 start. If you're interested in exploring the impact of microplastics on human and animal tissues, including the immune system, then please check out our project description here!
We will integrate in vivo animal models with in vitro analyses of human cells, and engage with chemists to test novel bioplastic alternatives. Please contact us if you'd like to hear more about our ideas!
