About This Opportunity

This PhD scholarship offers an opportunity to refine a 3D microfluidic intervertebral disc (IVD) model to enhance cell culture conditions, assess wear particle effects, and investigate cellular responses. The research focuses on optimizing a 3D microfluidic IVD model to study cell responses to wear particles, refining culture conditions, and analysing cytotoxic and inflammatory mechanisms. This project is based in biomedical engineering and biomedical sciences, with applications in understanding spinal health and the biological impacts of implant wear particles. The scholarship provides support for doctoral research at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, enabling advanced research in organ modeling and spine biology.
