About This Opportunity

This scholarship focuses on investigating the mechanobiological effects of wear particles on intervertebral disc (IVD) cells using a spinal implant-on-a-chip platform, simulating physiological loading conditions. The scholarship aims to develop a spinal implant-on-a-chip platform to study the mechanobiological effects of wear particles on healthy IVD cells. The project involves generating clinically relevant wear particles and simulating physiological loading conditions. Basic knowledge in cell biology is highly desired for applicants with qualifications in biomedical, biomechanical, or mechanical engineering.
