The Department of Chemical Engineering (CIT) is looking for a creative, 
dynamic and motivated doctoral candidate to work in a new area of 
research named Chemical Engineering for Health Care.


    Rational Design of Biosupramolecular Systems for Regenerative Medicine

The Department of Chemical Engineering is located at recently 
inaugurated modern research facilities of Leuven Chem&Tech and Leuven 
Nanocentre. The Department is responsible for the education of future 
chemical engineers and PhD's in chemical engineering. The programme in 
Leuven champions a combination of a profound 'chemical engineering' 
background, complemented with unique facets of internationally 
significant topics. Therefore, you can become acquainted with 
product-oriented thinking as an addition to the more traditional 
process-oriented education. Chemical Engineering for Health Care is a 
new exciting and rapidly advancing research field combining life 
sciences, material sciences and chemical engineering.


      Project

Regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field 
combining medicine, life sciences and engineering and including tissue 
engineering and self-healing. In this project you will conduct research 
in designing biosupramolecular systems based on polysaccharides, 
glycopolymers and hybrid materials for advanced applications in tissue 
engineering and self-healing. The emphasis of your work will be the 
construction of ordered and oriented architectures at the molecular 
level that are suitable for stimuli responsive interactions with cells. 
You will learn different methods of material synthesis, characterization 
and processing.You will also learn advanced techniques for cell 
cultivation and for understanding micromechanical interactions between 
cells and different micro and nanoarchitectures. Your work will be 
multidisciplinary and part of the new Chemical Engineering for Health 
Care research area of the Department of Chemical Engineering and in 
synergistic collaboration with Biomechanics Section of the Department of 
Mechanical Engineering. You will have opportunity for extensive national 
and international collaboration with top scientists in the field of 
engineering, material science and medical research.
