Regenerative Medicine
We are inviting applications from around the world for new doctoral studentships for 2013/14.
Applications are invited for two doctoral studentships within this cluster:
- Novel Tissue-Protective Cytokine Synthetic Analogues for the Treatment of Aseptic and Septic Wounds
- Cellular Indicators for Monitoring Sport Performance and Injuries
Applications close 4pm, 27 June 2013. Interviews for shortlisted candidates will take place between 15 and 19 July 2013. All those invited to interview will be informed of the outcome by 26 July 2013.
In addition to the University of Brighton studentships advertised above, we are also offering the following opportunity:
PLEASE NOTE: This studentship has different funding arrangements from the other University of Brighton studentships advertised on this page. For more information please see the Marie Curie Financial Guidelines, in particular pages 5-8. Closing date for applications: 29 June 2013. Interviews will take place between 15 – 18 July 2013.
Brighton Cluster for Regenerative Medicine (BCRM)
The Brighton Cluster for Regenerative Medicine is a collaboration between the Schools of the Faculties of Science and Engineering, Health and Social Sciences, Education and Sports, and Arts. The knowledge generated by this inter-disciplinary cluster of researchers is integrated with the clinical and bioethical investigations of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School to provide pioneering biomedical technologies for the regeneration of diseased or traumatised tissues and organs while taking into account patient perspective, clinical needs and the bioethical discourse. Under the leadership of Professor Matteo Santin from the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences this knowledge-based innovation is translated into effective clinical treatments and transformed into art renditions helping the public to reflect upon our relationship with science and technology, life and suffering.
In particular, the University of Brighton Cluster for Regenerative Medicine provides R&D in cutting-edge, minimally-invasive therapeutics through breakthrough insights and innovation in biology, chemistry/nanotechnology, computer modelling, genomics, biomaterials and tissue engineering. BCRM research reflects the priorities of clinicians, industry and patients as well as of experts in bioethics and provides a research-driven learning environment and a sensitive approach to science where under-/post-graduate students and early-career researchers may fulfil their research ambitions within an international collaborative network. A multi-disciplinary problem-solving approach and team spirit are at the heart of the research activities of the cluster and of its vibrant environment.
Research in Life and Physical Sciences
Our researchers in the life and physical sciences seek to advance fundamental knowledge that will provide real-world solutions to key technological and societal challenges. Research is underpinned by support and partnership with industry, government departments and civil society. We aim to ensure that our research is applied, or yet to be applied – research that might be characterised as ‘use-inspired basic research’. Thus we pursue research: in disease processes that may lead to new treatments and technologies, through, for example, successful spin-off of partner companies; in understanding human-environment interactions that are the ‘green challenges’ of tomorrow and delivering more sustainable products, lifestyles and policies; and in designing novel engineering and digital solutions to address societal needs.
