Fully funded EPSRC UDLA PhD studentships at Imperial in biomedical engineering and medicine, covering synthetic biology and cardiac imaging with interdisciplinary training and strong research support.
Project Description
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) University Doctoral Landscape Award (UDLA) supports up to 8 PhD studentships within the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London.
Students will join one of two flagship research cohorts:
1. Synthetic Cells (SynCells) for Healthcare
Led by Ravinash Krishna Kumar
Projects include:
Targeted antimicrobial delivery against resistant biofilms
Synthetic cell technologies for prostate cancer
RNA biomarkers for therapeutic activation
Programmable immune training and vaccine delivery
2. Deep Mapping of the Myocardium
Led by Andrew Scott
Projects include:
Computational simulation of microvascular systems
Cardiac ageing and disease markers
3D reconstruction of heart structure and gene expression
Advanced imaging for ventricular activation mapping
Students will benefit from interdisciplinary research across bioengineering, medicine, and computational science, as well as training through Imperial’s Early Career Researcher Institute (ECRI), which provides professional and transferable skills development.
