PhD studentship: Engineering an in vitro human embryo implantation platform to study pathologies arising in early pregnancy

Posted by , on 5 November 2025

About the Project A fully funded PhD opportunity to participate in the world-leading research undertaken by the EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award at the University of Sheffield. Embryo implantation is the step in early pregnancy where the founding tissue of the placenta from the embryo, called the trophoblast, establishes a physical connection with the mother at the inner […]

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Building a virtual human embryo to predict developmental success and failure

Posted by , on 5 November 2025

About the Project Unlocking the secrets of human embryo development demands a new, dynamic approach. This PhD project offers a unique opportunity to apply cutting-edge computational methods to a fundamental challenge in reproductive biology: understanding why human embryos fail. As delayed childbearing becomes more common, pinpointing the barriers to healthy development is critical. You’ll be […]
