✓ Fully Funded ⏰ Closing Soon 🎓 Pharmaceutical Chemistry 🎓 Pharmacology 🎓 Pharmacy funded PhD food science bioactives bilberry bioavailability in silico modelling metabolism olive

Funded PhD at the University of Bath focused on the bioavailability and metabolism of olive and bilberry bioactives using advanced in silico techniques.

Project Description

This PhD project is part of the BioTransform Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network and focuses on exploring the bioavailability aspects of olive and bilberry food bioactives through advanced in silico methods. The project sits within a wider European research programme investigating metabolism of food bioactives and their impact on health and disease. It will contribute to understanding how olive and bilberry compounds are transformed in the digestive tract and how these biotransformation products may influence health outcomes. The research environment includes: doctoral training in life sciences and biopharmaceutics international secondments workshops, conferences, and outreach activities interdisciplinary supervision across the BioTransform network
