About the role

Studentship Description: The project will develop a digital twin of an experimental 3D microvascular organoid culture system working in collaboration with Dr Paola Campagnolo (School of Biosciences, University of Surrey). Specifically, individual-based computational simulations will be used to investigate the role of mechanical interactions between cells in haemorrhagic disease. The digital twin will be an accurate biological mimic that is user-friendly within an experimental context; optimised for co-culture microvascular organoids. The combined digital twin and experimental organoid system will constitute a powerful tool for investigating new treatments for these severe diseases without the use of animal models. The student will also spend time in the lab of the experimental collaborator (Campagnolo lab), learning wet-lab techniques and performing experiments that will contribute to data collection for the simulations. Person Specification Applicants should possess a Masters level degree in Mathematics, Physics or Computer Science or similar physical sciences/bioengineering backgrounds, or an equivalent qualification from other countries. An essential criterion is a willingness to engage with biological detail. Application Process:1) First Dr Carina Dunlop () to discuss the project and your suitability for the project. 2) Apply for the MPhil/PhD programme in Mathematics at UCL, /25 entry, by completing the UCL Postgraduate Application on-line form available at: Your proposed supervisor(s) should be entered on the form in the indicated field. 3) Fill in the following Equality and Diversity form: This is for monitoring purposes only and will not affect your application. Closing date: 28 October Interviews: will be held online or in person. Studentship Start Date: February
