Internship Programmes

Materials characterisation of Atherosclerotic tissue

Research Group Activity

The Schiller group specialises in the synthesis and characterisation of polymers, composites and biological tissue. Dr Schiller is armed with extensive advanced materials characterisation experience including conducting in-situ experiments on Synchrotron beamlines. The team is also perfectly suited to investigate a broad spectrum of non-polymer materials and is currently undertaking projects in cardiac research and working with ceramics.

Project description

This project will be investigating the salt content in vascular tissue. This data will be used to look into links to both cardiovascular disease and kidney failure. The samples are obtained from UHCW with ethics approval and fixed (meaning non-hazardous) when handling.
