Offer description

We are looking for higly motivated candidates to apply for a PhD position (DC1) within EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA DN) GAP ("image-Guided computational and experimental Analysis of fractured Patients").   General information Politecnico di Milano is seeking a PhD candidate to be offered scholarship for a position within the framework EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA DN) GAP . The candidate will be enrolled within the Doctoral Programme in Mechanical Engineering - Department of Mechanical Engineering. The mission of the Department of Mechanical Engineering is to promote and develop culture, research and innovation in its sectors of reference, but also in new fields deemed to become more and more important in society and in our present background. For example, it deals with sustainability, clean energy and power technologies, bio and smart materials. Please look at www.mecc.polimi.it for more details on the type of activities we undertake.   General overview of GAP MSCA project Age-related bone fractures are a major health concern, resulting worldwide in high economic and psycho-social burden, morbidity and increasing mortality. With aging and in presence of bone pathologies, human bone becomes more brittle and prone to damage. A disruptive clinical hypothesis considers Covid-19 virus as an additional contributing factor in bone deterioration. At the macro-scale, the identification of fragility is assured by the clinical practice: common clinical tools, however, are able to predict only 70% of fractures. For this reason, a deep investigation of the bone micro-architecture would be a fundamental hint for the comprehension of damage mechanisms, improving the reliability of fracture risk indicators and performing more accurate diagnosis of bone pathologies. This knowledge level goes beyond the current state of the art and this is where GAP comes into play, providing attractive, multi-disciplinary and versatile training strategies for multi-scale comprehension, detection and patient-specific treatments of bone fractures. The over-arching aim of GAP proposal is to educate young and talented scientists towards a combined high-level experimental and numerical approach for the early-stage accurate, precise detection and mini-invasive treatments of bone fractures, shedding some light on bone micro-scale alterations due to pathologies. The inter-disciplinary findings, that exploit cutting-edge multi-scale imaging facilities and advanced artificial intelligent-based strategies, will be a crucial aspect in the training of skilled researchers and will enable Europe to overcome the silent paralysis of its healthcare system.   Specific project for Doctoral Candidate 5 (DC5): “From the synchrotron images to multi-scale numerical models ”
The primary goal of this research involves analyzing morphological and structural features at the meso-scale to understand their contribution to bone fractures. This entails categorization and comprehension of elements such as trabecular orientation, thickness, and porosity in relation to fractures. Following that, an in-depth exploration of multi-scale mechanisms of bone damage is underway using advanced numerical models. This involves simulating and understanding damage progression from micro-level microcracks to meso-level fractures. The third objective centers on the development of reliable numerical models at both the meso and micro scales, accurately representing how bones accumulate and propagate damage under varied conditions. Lastly, validation of these numerical models is planned through comparison with experimental results, ensuring accuracy and effectiveness in mimicking real-world bone behavior. This validation will guide future studies in bone fracture analysis and treatment.
  Expected results
We expect a comprehensive classification of morphological and structural features that significantly contribute to fractures at the meso-scale. This classification will likely reveal specific patterns and correlations between bone features and fracture tendencies, providing valuable insights for future research and clinical applications.The development of numerical models with optimal mesh progressive refinement is expected to yield precise simulations of bone damage mechanisms at varying scales. These models will likely provide a detailed depiction of how damage propagates within bone structures, aiding in the prediction and understanding of fracture patterns and the conditions under which fractures occur. The calculation of fracture mechanics parameters using the numerical models should offer quantitative metrics that capture the bone mechanical response to stress. These parameters are vital for predicting fracture initiation and progression, enabling a more accurate assessment of bone strength and vulnerability to fractures. The comparison of numerical parameters with experimental multi-scale results will validate the numerical models. The alignment of these results would affirm the accuracy and reliability of the numerical simulations in mimicking real-world fracture behavior. Any disparities identified through this comparison will guide refinements and enhancements to the numerical models, ensuring their effectiveness in simulating bone fractures. Overall, these expected results hold promise for significantly advancing our understanding of bone fractures and providing a foundation for improved diagnostics, treatments, and preventive measures in orthopedics and related fields.
  Planned secondment(s):      1) Prof. D. Taylor, TCD (Trinity College Dublin): development of different numerical models and comparison with the corresponding modelling approaches; obtainment of optimal models for predicting damage evolution. 2) Prof. G. Banfi, IOG (IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio): study and classification of the different structural and morphological fracture that lead fracture in bones.

About the Institute                                    

FZU is a leading public research institution located in Prague, the Czech Republic, which strives to pursue high quality, innovative and ground-breaking fundamental research, as well as to promote developments in applied technologies. FZU is the largest institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences with more than 1100 employees.

Research Programme 

The department of Optical and Biophysical SystemsDivision of Optics has recently established new research groups that focus on combined research in Biophotonics, Biophysics or Functional Biointerfaces. It serves as international multidisciplinary research platform proving to researchers motivating and friendly working environment. It provides access to newly established modern state-of-the-art research facilities in order to carry out cutting-edge research directions in science and technology development. New co-workers are granted with creative freedom to explore new solutions and innovations addressing currently emerged grand challenges faced by the modern society.

The Czech-Austrian bilateral project ‘Soft micromachines for mechanic stimulation and biosensing in cell-on-chip applications – SOMICELL’ starts in the group of Biophotonics and it concerns novel toolbox of miniature microdevices for actuating, positioning, and biosensing serving in cell-on-chip studies. It is based on the implementation of responsive hydrogel materials and metallic nanostructures enabling actuating with light and aims at their exploitation in mechanical stimulating and cell signaling study by using a tendon-on-chip system.

Mechanical and molecular signalling plays a crucial role in intercellular communication and it is pivotal in many physiological processes such as wound healing or connective tissue maturation. Yet, understanding these biological processes driven by mechanic forces and chemical cues is currently hindered by the ability to mimic and monitor the local environment experienced by individual cells and their ensembles. We propose a novel approach to mechanical stimulus based on light-controlled free-standing microactuators performing defined cyclic motion, which is directly transmitted to attached cellular structures. Next, we integrate plasmonic microbiosensors with the microactuators, which allow for spatiotemporally resolved in situ monitoring of molecular signalling and stress biomarker species. The developed toolbox will be employed for the investigating of the impact of dysfunctional inflammatory mechano-signalling in tendon and ligament models. Developed novel analytical platform holds potential to outperform current cell-on-chip technologies by precise control over applied stresses/strains, spatiotemporal resolution of cell monitoring, and high throughput.

Depending on candidate’s background and research interest, the candidate will focus on the development of the experimental optical setup or signal processing and will be involved in the investigation of biomolecular processes in continuous manner with the use of plasmonic nanomaterials and plasmon-enhanced optical spectroscopy.
