The Skin Health research group at the University of Southampton adopts a translational approach to improve patient care in hospitals and the community setting. The project, funded through an EPSRC CASE award in association with a UK plc company, Sumed, will provide an opportunity to conduct a PhD with a multidisciplinary team of internationally leading researchers.
The PhD programme will aim to develop innovative technologies and interventions that enable the identification of patients at risk of pressure ulcers and provide effective management strategies for those patients and their healthcare professionals. This will be achieved through a series of lab and clinical based studies to ensure translation from bench to bedside using a range of biomechanical and physiological measures in conjunction with selected biomarkers.
The ideal candidate will have skills in computational modelling and/or biomechanical and physiological monitoring. In general the candidate should present a strong desire to work in the bioengineering sciences.
