The John Abernethy (Barts) Scholarships

The John Abernethy (Barts) Scholarships are designed to encourage applications from students in financial hardship who would benefit from the MBBS or BDS programme at Queen Mary University of London. The trustees of St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College Trust offer these scholarships to three new medical students and one new dental student each year. The scholarships have been named after prominent figures in medical history: The John Abernethy Scholarships (2 scholarships for medical students), named after the founder of the Medical College of St Bartholomew's Hospital; The Dean Rees Scholarship (1 scholarship for a medical student), named after the first female Dean of the Medical College; and The Dame Margaret Seward Scholarship (1 scholarship for a dental student), named after the first woman elected to the General Dental Council. The scholarships assist students who, despite exceptional academic ability and aptitude for a medical or dental career, might not be able to undertake the course for financial reasons. Awards are based on household income, academic attainment of at least three grade A A-levels taken in the same sitting, and performance in the Fundamentals of Medicine/Dentistry module at the end of the first term. Note: This scholarship is currently suspended.

Nano-assemblies of cyclodextrin complexes at oil-water interfaces as sustainable alternatives to surfactants

This PhD research project aims to investigate the formation and structural characteristics of interfacial films created by cyclodextrin-oil complexes and to correlate these properties with the stability of emulsions. The central hypothesis is that cyclodextrins (CDs) can form robust, structured interfacial films via host-guest interactions with targeted hydrophobic molecules in the oil phase, which can provide a versatile method to build strong interfacial films for a very broad range of oil mixtures. The research will employ advanced experimental techniques including interfacial rheology, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), cryogenic electron microscopy, and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to characterize the interfacial films. Emulsion stability will be assessed under varying conditions of pH, ionic strength, and temperature to simulate real-world applications. This research will contribute to the fundamental understanding of cyclodextrin-mediated interfacial phenomena and offer insights into designing novel, biocompatible emulsifiers for applications in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Digital Twins for Liver Cancer Using Medically Informed Machine Learning

This PhD research project develops digital twin models for the human liver for use in liver cancer treatment planning and optimisation. The project creates an image-based computational model of the liver with realistic anatomical variability, structure, and aspects of functionality. Digital twins have many use cases including training clinicians, testing computational algorithms, planning patient-specific treatments, and enabling virtual in-silico trials for evaluating novel treatments. The project focuses on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults and currently the most common cause of death in people with cirrhosis. The research will develop a liver function map as part of a digital twin model using biomarkers from pre-operative MRI to estimate tissue-level inflammation, fibrosis, fat content, cirrhosis, and hepatocyte uptake extraction rate. This combines magnetic resonance imaging with medically informed machine learning (MIML) techniques. The project seeks to exploit multi-modal imaging (CT, MRI) and novel data-driven machine learning methods to develop and validate the digital twin model. The liver function maps will be paired with anatomical shape models of the liver and computational algorithms for generating the vasculature of the liver and the tumour, creating the first ever digital twin model of the human liver. MIML techniques will be used to reduce model overfitting and ensure consistency with existing medical knowledge about tumour pathophysiology, vascular function, and tissue response to radiotherapy.

Functional data analysis with informative missingness (UK Only)

This PhD research project focuses on developing functional principal component analysis (FPCA) and multivariate FPCA (MFPCA) frameworks for functional data with informative missingness. The increasing availability of extensive datasets with variables measured over a continuum has opened new frontiers in research across disciplines. These datasets, known as functional data, are prevalent in fields ranging from environmental monitoring and education to biomedical sciences and engineering. However, analysing such data remains challenging due to their high dimensionality, multivariate structure, and critically, the presence of missingness that is not completely at random. This project aims to fill the gap by developing advanced statistical methods to handle informative missingness in functional data analysis. Real-world datasets often suffer from different types of informative missingness, and applying FPCA or MFPCA without accounting for these issues can lead to biased results, misrepresenting relationships among variables and undermining downstream analyses such as prediction, classification, and decision-making. The application will be within biomedical studies, such as Alzheimer's disease and scleroderma. The position offers a highly competitive EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award providing full academic fees, together with a tax-free maintenance grant at the standard UKRI rate (£20,780 in academic session 2025/26) for 3.5 years. Training and support will also be provided, and candidates will be automatically considered for a School of Mathematics Scholarship.

Computer vision methods for understanding surgical safety

This PhD opportunity focuses on using computer vision to transform healthcare and enhance patient care in surgical settings. Computer vision is essential in surgical care for identifying areas of interest, but current surgical landscapes face challenges including occlusion, organ opacity, visual challenges, and scene interpretation. While methods have been developed for surgical scene understanding including scene segmentation, depth estimation, tracking and 3D reconstruction, these remain rudimentary and cannot be directly translated to clinical care. This project takes a holistic approach to identifying surgical complications and patient safety. The successful candidate will work with experts in computer vision, machine learning, computer graphics, and surgeons, integrated directly into the AI for Medicine and Surgery group at Leeds, which has a world-leading reputation for delivering high-quality research.

Material changes for a sustainable healthcare system

This PhD opportunity explores how sustainable healthcare can be achieved by embedding circular economy principles into surgical products and processes. The research will assess how changes in material and design can improve sustainability and support a circular economy for healthcare. The PhD will be based in the new SUSTAIN facility (Simulation Theatre for Academia and Industry), working with the UK Department of Health and Social Care and leading experts in sustainable healthcare at Brighton & Sussex Medical School. The program involves assessing emerging healthcare technologies and procedures using the SUSTAIN facility to drive change in UK and international practice. The research will develop case studies that will be integrated into the Department of Health and Social Care's 'Design for Life' framework and inform NHS policy guidance, particularly in sustainable procurement and sustainable surgical practice.
