“The AGSE Industry PhD program has allowed me to develop both my scientific and professional networks and explore my career options post-PhD.”— Claire Bridges, working with Synedgen, Inc. and the UNSW Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering to repair blood vessels affected by diabetes. The Industry PhD from the Australian Graduate School of Engineering at UNSW gives you industry-ready skills and professional networks, gearing you for success in your next industry or academic role. Embarking on a research degree is fundamentally different to any other degree. As an engineering researcher, you are on a single-minded mission to shift the boundaries of science and technology in society. Simultaneously, this gives you a platform to deep-dive into your own natural curiosity by holding a magnifying glass up to the world around you. Every hypothesis starts with a question: what are you curious about? Find out more at https://lnkd.in/eak_eMkG

🌟 A remarkable step forward for Digital One Health in NI! 🌟 The NILab project let by Queen's University Belfast in collaboration with Ulster University, has secured £7M in funding (BBSRC-NERC Doctoral Landscape Awards) from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). This groundbreaking initiative will train a new generation of PhD students at the intersection of AI and biosciences. Based across the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EEECS), the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, and the School of Biological Sciences, NILab perfectly complements Momentum One Zero’s mission. 🌱🤖🧬 While advancing our Digital One Health Hub of Impact to empower Northern Ireland's agrifood and health sciences sectors, NILab will play a vital role in driving the development of essential technologies and skills for the future. Congratulations to all collaborators on this well-deserved award, and we look forward to seeing the incredible impact of this initiative unfold.

At the end of May we will celebrate 10th anniversary of #MCB. On this occasion, we asked MCB employees to share thoughts and memories related to MCB. In the following days, we will share different perspectives on MCB past, present and future. Today, we are starting with short interview with Dominika Kwaśna, PhD - MSC ERA fellow and Postdoctoral researcher in Max Planck Research Group. After obtaining her PhD from the University of Dundee, Dominika joined the Max Planck group of dr hab. Sebastian Glatt to elucidate molecular details of the ancient protein modification so-called urmylation. Why do you believe MCB stands out among other research units? I think that MCB stands out from many institutions by employing researchers only for scientific positions and, at the same time, taking an active part in the academic society, collaborating closely with the university departments. How has MCB contributed to your academic/professional journey? After starting in MCB as a postdoctoral researcher, I was strongly encouraged and supported by my supervisor and MCB authorities to apply for European grants for researchers coming back to Poland from foreign institutions. My application was successful and I am sure that being awarded with ERA fellowship from Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions program will significantly contribute to my future academic career. What scientific challenges do you foresee for MCB in the coming years? I think that the biggest challenge will be to find a balance between expanding the scientific interests of MCB and building strength in the areas of its current expertise. #MałopolskaCentreOfBiotechnology #10thMCBanniversary Jagiellonian University

It’s a very proud day for BioInnovate Ireland as we honour Professor Paul Yock and Dr Josh Makower, who are receiving their Honorary Degrees at University of Galway. Professor Yock and Dr Makower are renowned pioneers in healthcare innovation. Their transformative work at Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign has revolutionised the development of medical technologies, improving patient care and saving lives globally. This groundbreaking approach served as the foundation for the BioInnovate programme at University of Galway, which has become a driving force for innovation in Ireland's medical technology sector. Today, their impact is deeply felt across the industry—an astonishing 1 in 8 Irish medtech start-ups are BioInnovate spin-outs. We look forward to continuing their legacy and driving innovation that transforms healthcare worldwide. #EUinmyregion #BioInnovation Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign

For many, tonight is going to be a nervous, stressful sleep (if you are lucky enough to manage). Whilst academic results are important, they are far from everything. 14 years ago, I did not get the grades I needed to study medicine, missing out by one mark in Biology. Despite this I did get into my chosen university, studying Biomedical Science instead. Many years of personal and academic challenges later, I received my Doctorate (just in Biomedical Science), multiple first author publications and now I am working at the same university, ready to receive applications for Clearing 2024. For those who are awaiting their results, do not be afraid of having to pivot directions. Life never works out exactly as planned but, when you look back, it will appear like you did it all on purpose. Best of luck for everyone involved, and for those of you who will be joining us in clearing, please know that St George's, University of London is ready for you! #clearing, #resultsday, #motivation, #education, #medicine, #biomedical,

🎓Bachelor in the pocket! I am proud to announce that I succesfully finished my Bachelor Biomedical Engineering at the University of Technology Eindhoven and received my BSc certificate during the Momentum celebration last week! At the end of June 2024, I defended my bachelor thesis, entitled: ‘Adaptation of Excitation-Contraction Coupling in the Failing Human Heart: investigation in a FEniCS-based finite-element model’. During my Bachelor End Project, I extended an already existing finite element model of the left ventricle by implementing an adaptation model in the software FEniCS. The adaptation model simulates automatic adjustment of the rate of force generation in cardiac myocytes when changes are recognized in surrounding myocytes. It was researched whether the implementation of the adaptation model contributes to the homogeneity of the contraction pattern of the cardiac myocytes in the finite element model. Afterwards, model parameters were modified in order to simulate heart failure to research the performance of the adaptation model under pathological conditions. Looking ahead, I am excited to continue my academic journey. Last September, I started with the MSc Medical Engineering at the TU/e. Part of this master are the clinical modules conducted at Maastricht University Medical Centre (MUMC+). I am curious what the future will bring!
