The aims of this project are to assess the wear and osteolytic potential of the patellofemoral joint within various conceptual and commercially available total knee replacements available today. This will be achieved through development of a bespoke patellofemoral joint wear simulator and wear testing; computational modelling; studies of the biological reactions of wear debris and clinical studies to validate the physical and biological models. Informal enquires can be made to Professor Zhongmin Jin (email: z.jin@leeds.ac.uk or tel: +44 (0)113 343 7471).

• Additional Information: This PhD Research Scholarship is available now for an immediate start. The aims of this multidisciplinary project are to research and develop stress-strain and oxygen transport models to predict cell behaviour and extracellular matrix remodelling in response to recellularisation and conditioning of decellularised tissues under uniaxial and biaxial strain stimuli. The tissues to be investigated will include tendon fascicles and pericardium with a view to develop tissue engineering constructs for the reconstruction of the mitral heart valve. This project will primarily employ analytical and computational finite element modelling, as well as experimental testing and validation. A major collaborator in this research is the UK National Blood Service Tissue Services. This project is also benefited from substantial links to the industrial sector. Informal enquires can be made to either Dr Sotirios Korossis (email: s.korossis@leeds.ac.uk or tel: +44 (0) 113 343 2160) or Professor Zhongmin Jin (email: z.jin@leeds.ac.uk or tel: +44 (0) 113 343 7471).
