Are you a biologist interested in bridging the gap between in vivo biology, physical and computational sciences?

Last chance to join a new interdisciplinary PhD programme at King’s College London! Deadline Sunday 25 June.

We explore complex interactions within a functioning organism by modelling molecular and cellular biology at the tissue and organ level.

Theme 1: System building integrates in vitro and in vivo model systems with bioengineering of microenvironments capturing tissue function.

Theme 2: System capture builds on emerging tools in high-resolution spatial biology transforming our understanding of physiological and pathological tissue interactions. We apply molecular analyses (chemical/metabolic, transcriptomic, proteomic) to multiscale spatial systems to qualitatively and quantitatively capture biological functions across tissues and time.

Theme 3: Virtual systems aims to model tissue behaviour and function, which is necessary for testing predictions and developing interventions. Information will be gathered across in vitro and in vivo systems, across patient-derived and genetic animal systems using computational, analytical and machine learning approaches.

Projects will be collaboratively developed with students and two cross-disciplinary faculty. See website for draft projects and application instructions: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/dentistry/research/multiscale-models-for-life-mm4l-centre-for-doctoral-training
