PhD Studentship: Antimicrobial coatings for biomedical applications

Antimicrobial coating industry is rapidly growing. This is to prevent the serious problems caused by bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on the surfaces of many devices. The project to be carried out in the Institute for Bioengineering at the University of Edinburgh is going to combine anti-adhesive approach to prevent bacterial adsorption and bactericidal method to achieve effective antimicrobial coatings.

To undertake this research, we are seeking a highly motivated candidate with established hands-on experience in materials, nanotechnology, chemistry, or biology.
