We have an exciting 4-year funded PhD opportunity in my lab on “An integrated human organ on chip model for the prediction of BBB penetration and CNS exposure”. The student will use an innovative chip-based human BBB model that will enable improved prediction of CNS drug exposure. This is in collaboration with an industrial partner (UCB Pharma) and the successful student will be based at the University of Liverpool with visits to a UCB Pharma site in Belgium. This will enable an experience of working with an international global biopharma company as well as in academia. Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed. The PhD project will start in October 2024. Please contact me directly (david.dickens@liverpool.ac.uk) via email with a subject tile of “BBB PhD Studentship” for additional information and to enquire on the application process. Please note funding only covers UK Home tuition fees so is only suitable for UK & RoI students.
