Welcome to the Cameron group pages!
Neil Cameron is the Monash Warwick Alliance Professor of Polymer Materials. He splits his time between the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Monash University (Australia)
and the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick (U.K.). Research activities are directed towards developing novel polymeric biomaterials for application in areas including tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and drug delivery.
PhD Projects Available
Two PhD scholarships provided by the Monash Institute of Medical Engineering (MIME) are available. Applications from outstanding Australian and overseas candidates are welcome, closing date is 30/06/2016.
Development of a new synthetic material for ligament replacement surgery
Development of an engineered skin substitute for the treatment of burn injuries
In addition, we are always looking to recruit excellent PhD students on other topics of interest, which can be tailored to the individual applicant. Monash University has a wide range of scholarships available to excellent candidates from Australia and overseas. The current scholarship round closes on 31/05/2016. If you are interested, send us an email.
The following PhD titles are currently available at the University of Warwick.
Giant polymersomes as simple cell mimics
Scaffolds for endometrial stem cell culture in 3D
Hematopoetic stem cell production using a porous biomaterial
To enquire about PhD positions, please send an email, with attached CV, to neil.cameron@monash.edu or n.cameron@warwick.ac.uk.
