PhD in Biomedical Engineering

This PhD project aims to develop a human thyroid–liver organ-on-a-chip (OoC) platform to investigate how environmental chemical pollutants disrupt endocrine function, with a focus on thyroid hormone disruption. By integrating omics and systems toxicology approaches, the project will provide a physiologically relevant, mechanistic alternative to animal-based testing, directly addressing the environmental challenge of precisely assessing endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) released into air, water, soil, and food chains.
