At MIBTP, we are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion and are dedicated to cultivating a diverse cohort of passionate PhD researchers from various academic backgrounds. Our studentship research projects target critical areas within distinct bioscience themes:
Sustainable Agriculture and Food, Understanding the Rules of Life, Renewable Resources and Clean Growth, and Integrated Understanding of Health.Using interdisciplinary and quantitative approaches, MIBTP doctoral researchers are dedicated to advancing solutions for today’s most significant challenges and contributing to research that benefits the wider society.
Our studentships offer a comprehensive support package, including fees (the cost of the UK fee rate), a tax-free annual stipend, a travel and conference budget, a generous consumables budget, and the use of a MacBook Pro for the duration of the programme.
We welcome students from diverse pathways, whether recent graduates or professionals returning to academia. Our vibrant international student body thrives in an environment that values creativity and expertise across theoretical disciplines, such as mathematics, computer science, and statistics, as well as experimental sciences, such as biology, biomedicine, and chemistry!
Discover how MIBTP is transforming the future of bioscience through cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a commitment to inclusive excellence. Explore our student profiles and find your place within this extraordinary community.
We are delighted to announce new funding from UKRI via the BBSRC Doctoral Landscape Awards. We are now recruiting for our first cohort, starting in October 2025.
A few weeks ago, Kyprianos published his second paper, titled New Insights on the Burst Release Kinetics of Spray-Dried PLGA Microspheres, in Molecular Pharmaceutics. This publication is the result of a collaboration between his research group at Aston University, the National Physics Laboratory (NPL) and the industrial partner of his project, aVaxziPen. The paper can be read via open access on ACS PublicationsLink opens in a new window.
In early October, Paulina travelled to Chicago, USA, to attend Neuroscience 2024, the world’s largest neuroscience conference. In addition to presenting her poster during her theme session titled “Ischaemia – Molecular and cellular mechanisms”, she also presented during the Early Career Poster Session, which featured a range of awardees of various travel awards.
Paulina received a Trainee Professional Development Award from Society for Neuroscience, as well as the Travel Award from the Guarantors of Brain.
Tosin was the second author on a recent paper titled “Efflux Pump Mediate Changes to Fundamental Bacterial Physiology via Membrane Potential”, which was published in mBio. This paper was based on some of the results from his away mini-project in Professor Jessica Blair’s lab at the University of Birmingham’.
Tosin's other recent achievements include winning the poster prize in the 2024 Applied Microbiology International ECS virtual poster competition, winning best pitch at the 2024 PGR Innovation Challenge, and presenting his PhD research at the first Warwick Antimicrobial Interdisciplinary Centre (WAMIR) ECR Symposium.
