PhD Project and Placement

All students will do their individual PhD project over the full 4 year period of the studentship. The academic supervision of each project will be led by two academics from Queen Mary's Centre for Predictive in vitro Models. In addition, we intend that all CDT students will also be aligned with an external supervisor(s) from our extensive group of industry and other stake holder partners. 

Opportunities for PhD projects cover diverse research areas around the development and use of organ-on-a-chip and related predictive in vitro models. 

Placements will be available for all CDT PhD students to spend typically 1 to 3 months embedded within an external organisation to understand broader perspectives on organ-chip technology. Organisations hosting placements will primarily be from our stake holder partners but may also include collaborating academic institutions.
