About the Project

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to investigate the biophysical, environmental and regenerative adaptations of shark cartilage in a range of species from shallow water to deep-sea. The project (based at La Trobe University, Melbourne) will assess the healing processes of shark cartilage and the surrounding perichondrium under different environmental conditions.

Using a range of techniques (including bioimaging (µCT), histology, immunohistochemistry, and regenerative medicine) the endoskeleton will be examined under natural conditions and following trauma. Cell proliferation and survival, and the remodelling of extracellular matrices (ECM) will be examined in the context of pressure-induced architectural-morphing of cartilaginous tissues and how this can influence the ECM’s performance characteristics and ultimately its functionality.

This project is part of a collaborative partnership comprising the newly-established Max Planck Queensland Centre for the Materials Science of Extracellular Matrices, with investigators from La Trobe University, Queensland University of Technology, City University of Hong Kong and various laboratories in Germany.

Successful applicants will receive a stipend, tuition fee scholarship and allowances, to commence between 1 July and 30 November 2023.

SUPERVISOR: Prof Shaun P. Collin, Neuroecology Group, La Trobe University
