cancer PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

We have 185 cancer PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

Cancer Epigenetics project

Broad Project Summary: Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Epigenetic changes are now recognised as a hallmark feature of cancer, but our understanding of factors that are responsible for tumour spread still remains limited. Read more

Small molecule cancer drug discovery targeting resistant disease.

Despite continuous advances in targeted cancer therapy in recent years, there remains a major challenge to combat drug resistance and poor levels of efficacy in areas of unmet medical need, such as advanced colorectal and breast cancer. Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: Multimodal predictive modelling of outcome in patients with gastrointestinal cancer

Worldwide, cancer of the upper (oesophagus, stomach) and lower gastrointestinal (colon and rectum) tract is newly diagnosed in 3.6 million patients every year and 2.2 million patients die from this disease every year. Read more

Identifying DNA methylation signatures of prostate cancer progression and mortality among patients with clinically confirmed, localised disease at baseline in a large prospective clinical trial

Rationale. Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of male mortality, with 336,000 deaths worldwide each year (1). Although most PCa cases are indolent, slow-growing, and tend not to progress, a subset of PCa cases are more aggressive and will progress to metastases, treatment resistance and death. Read more

Sensitizing AML cells to RAR and VDR ligands (vitamin A and D derivatives) to prevent leukaemia relapse

The doctoral candidate (DC) will perform basic research on leukaemia cell biology in vitro and in vivo at the Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. Read more

Development of a highly innovative label-free & deep-learning based analysis method: Histoplasmonic Tissue Cytometry

The doctoral candidate (DC) will perform applied research in bioinformatics, i.e., the extraction of numerical values from biological samples, by engaging deep learning technologies to microscopic images with the aim to develop a novel solution for future clinical diagnostics of cancer. Read more

Targeting dormant cancer cells in myeloma

Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer and remains essentially incurable. Chemotherapy is effective at reducing tumour and extends survival, but it never fully eradicates disease, so patients face inevitable relapse. Read more

Managing understanding of recruitment and retention to de-escalation trials for breast cancer (MENTOR)

Breast cancer remains a significant global health challenge, affecting millions of women each year. While advances in treatment have improved survival rates, there is a growing recognition of the need to ensure balance between effective treatment and minimizing unnecessary harm to patients. Read more

Fully funded PhD studentship in mechanisms of cancer heterogeneity and drug sensitivity

Treatment of cancer with drugs that cause DNA damage often leads to development of the drug tolerance. Recently, we uncovered a novel mechanism of such an adaptation that associates with active generation of hundreds of thousand mutations in chromosomes that prevent drug-triggered DNA damage.
