10 fully funded 4-year PhD positions on human models of cardiovascular disease (CVD), integrating bioengineering, multi-omics, and AI-powered health data, with interdisciplinary training across King’s and Imperial.
Project Description
This programme offers 10 fully funded 4-year interdisciplinary PhD positions focused on next-generation human models of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including in vitro, ex vivo, and in silico approaches. Students will receive interdisciplinary training in bioengineering, multi-omics, and AI-powered health data.
King’s funding: 6 studentships, targeting candidates with expertise in molecular & cellular biology.
Imperial funding: 4 studentships, targeting candidates with expertise in bioengineering.
All students will engage in Year 1 of training through core and elective modules, workshops, and two mini-projects. In Years 2-4, students will continue one mini-project towards the PhD. Bioengineering students from Imperial will pair with a King’s supervisor holding a human CVD model, facilitating design or improvement of models that may incorporate data science. King’s students will work on human CVD models with an option to integrate bioengineering and/or data science approaches.
