PhD candidate designing a patient-specific expandable vascular graft
Leiden University Medical Center
In this role, you will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to develop an innovative, patient-specific expandable vascular graft. You will utilize advanced finite element analysis and gain hands-on experience in the manufacturing and validation of prototypes. This project provides a unique opportunity to optimize care for children with congenital heart defects and make a lasting impact in the medical field.
You will be flexibly based at both the Amsterdam university Science Park, the University of Twente and at the LUMC, department of Cardiothoracic surgery, depending on the phase of the project working closely together with engineers and clinicians.

________________________________________________________________PhD Fellowship in DC 8 – Mechano-chemo models of the knee and intervertebral disc joints, to explore the emergence of age-related risk factors of degeneration
Pompeu Fabra University - Department of Engineering
A 4-years PhD position is available in the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) InSilicoHealth - Training the virtual twin professionals to support healthy ageing, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Programme.
This PhD project will focus on coupling biological regulatory network and organ finite element models to define risk factors of different rates or organ ageing in personalised models related with patient (osteoarthritis, low back pain) and population cohorts, with which UPF works.
A successful project will result in a robust pipeline for multiscale modelling that allows mechanistic explorations of pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factor predictions for age-related joint degeneration, based on interpretable biological mechanisms.
