[Closed] PhD Student Opportunity at the Reverse Bioengineering Laboratory, NYU Abu Dhabi

The Reverse Bioengineering Laboratory at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our team in Fall 2025. Our mission is to pioneer advancements in biomedical engineering by reconstructing entire human and animal bodies using state-of-the-art engineering methodologies—a transformative approach we call Reverse Bioengineering. Central to our research is the development of the Body on a Chip (BoC) system, which replicates both physiological and pathological conditions of living organisms in vitro. Our groundbreaking work holds significant potential for drug discovery, regenerative medicine, and wildlife conservation, charting new paths toward 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.
