A Digital Twin of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension to Predict Patient Outcomes
King’s College London and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)
Dr Colm McCabe - Prof Pablo Lamata
3.5-year PhD studentship centred around development of digital twins in pulmonary hypertension, a condition with a high unmet clinical therapeutic need. The project will focus on cross-cutting themes that include the investigation of acute and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and other sub-types focussed on the development of models of pulmonary haemodynamic impairment which underly clinical deterioration and excess patient mortality. With access to clinical databases that include patient outcomes, this will allow a machine learning approach to the optimisation of pulmonary hypertension management. Students will also be involved in the prospective acquisition of clinical data with the aim of developing an advanced phenotypes of CTEPH, with potential application of personalised digital twins to real world cases.
Deadline: Sunday 29th September 2024

C4Bio - Consensus in mechanical characterization of biological tissues
Science and Technology Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, KU Leuven
We are looking for a postdoctoral scholar at FIBEr – KU Leuven Core Facility for Biomechanical Experiments.
FIBEr is a core facility dedicated to characterization of mechanical properties (e.g. stiffness, strength and microstructure) of biological tissue, specifically bones, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, etc., as well as biomedical products, such as implants and biomaterials. Mapping the mechanical properties serves to gain a better understanding of diseases related to altered mechanical properties (e.g. osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, cartilage injury,…), and to support the development of medical products, digital twins and medical treatments.
Deadline: October 25, 2024
