The Reverse Bioengineering Laboratory at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is seeking a PhD student for Fall 2024. Our mission is to pioneer advancements in biomedical engineering, aiming to reconstruct entire human and animal bodies using state-of-the-art engineering methodologies. We’ve termed this transformative approach “Reverse Bioengineering.” A hallmark of our research is the “Body on a Chip” (BoC) system, which emulates both physiological and pathological conditions of living organisms in vitro. Our trailblazing work holds significant potential for fields such as drug discovery, regenerative medicine, and wildlife conservation, charting new paths for the betterment of human and animal well-being.
PhD candidates in the Global PhD Student Fellowship will primarily undertake coursework in New York during their inaugural year, transitioning to research endeavors in Abu Dhabi thereafter. This enables each student to engage in formative study with an entering cohort of students, and take advantage of NYU’s world-class resources.
