13 Bio & Biomedical Engineering PhDs in United Kingdom

PhD in Nanoscience DTC PhD (NoWNANO)

NOWNANO builds on the world-leading expertise in all nanoscience within Manchester and Lancaster universities to offer a broad interdisciplinary doctoral training centre (DTC). PhD students receive initial training that shows them the breadth and potential of nanoscience, before they focus on mastering one specific area of the subject. NOWNANO DTC offers many extra opportunities compared to traditional PhD, such as student conferences, joint events with other DTCs, innovation and commercialisation training, and outreach events. All these contribute to building a group of outstanding scientists that will help to lead world research in nanoscience in the future.

PhD in Offshore Renewable Energy (Engineering Doctorate)

The Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Exeter together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HR-Wallingford have formed a partnership to deliver the RCUK/ETI Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE).

PhD in Medical Engineering

Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford Campus

The Medical Engineering Research Group (MERG) consists of scientists from Anglia Ruskin, physicians from Mid-Essex Hospitals Trust and Springfield Ramsay Hospital and collaborators from industry, who have combined forces to address common debilitating clinical problems, such as osteoarthritis and venous ulcers.

PhD in Molecular Cancer Studies PhD

The University of Manchester

Understanding the signalling and cell cycle networks that go awry during tumour evolution, and how cancer cells then manipulate their microenvironment, requires in-depth knowledge of many basic biological processes. Members of the Molecular Cancer Studies group are actively engaged in building this knowledge, which is an essential first step towards developing novel therapeutic strategies.

PhD in Biotechnology PhD

The University of Manchester

PhD programmes are based on individual research projects that last 3 or 4 years, working with a specific academic supervisor (principle investigators). As genome projects for animals, plants and microorganisms continue to advance, new opportunities arise which offer huge potential benefits in healthcare, agriculture and the environment, through the production of new drugs, novel crops and bioremediation. The Faculty houses the UK Centre for Tissue Engineering and there are strong links with industry.

PhD in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics

Cardiff University

Postgraduates on the MPhil/PhD programme in Engineering at Cardiff can pursue research across a wide range of areas via the School's seven multidisciplinary research institutes. Within these Institutes are a number of research groups working across the three engineering disciplines of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering on major research themes such as Energy, Environment, Health, Communication, Security and Materials.

PhD in Stem Cell Research PhD

The University of Manchester

The Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cells research group covers two distinct but overlapping areas. Those working in the area of tissue regeneration, combining tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, are developing living cell-based biological approaches to aid the repair and regeneration of damaged and diseased tissues. This is a strongly interdisciplinary field of research, which combines the skills of cell, molecular and matrix biologists in the Faculty of Life Sciences with expertise in other Faculties including material, engineering and physical scientists and clinical and surgical specialists.

PhD in Doctoral Training Centre in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

University of Leeds

The White Rose Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York have been awarded £6m to fund a 5-year Doctoral Training Centre in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine.

PhD in Centre of Excellence in Medical and Biological Engineering

University of Leeds

This is an opportunity for you to study for a prestigious and exciting four year integrated PhD and MSc in medical and biological engineering within the Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering.

PhD in PhD in Materials

Queen Mary, University of London

We welcome postgraduate students and visiting research fellows to undertake research in our areas of interest (see below). Research students are registered for University of London degrees (MPhil/PhD) and work under the supervision of members of academic staff.

PhD in Anglia Vision Research

Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge Campus

Anglia Vision Research group consists of academic staff with a wealth of international experience in research, research training and teaching in optometry and vision sciences from the Universities of Cambridge, Cardiff, Indiana, Houston, McGill, and Melbourne.

PhD in Biochemistry

University of Essex

This allows you to undertake research in the field of biochemistry.
