4-year PhD Studentship: Development of a cheap sensitive blood test for early detection of brain metastasis using fluorescent carbon dots and nanophotonics
Development of a cheap sensitive blood test for early detection of brain metastasis using fluorescent carbon dots and nanophotonics. Read more
Regulation of asymmetric cell division in brain cancer stem cells
Glioblastoma is the most lethal brain cancer in adults. Its poor prognosis is a result of aggressive tumour growth, therapeutic resistance, and tumour heterogeneity at the cellular and genetic level. Read more
Imaging metabolic pathways in the brain using magnetic resonance spectroscopy - MPhil Scholarship
Methodologies for studying in vivo metabolic pathways in the brain have the potential to significantly improve diagnosis and treatment of multiple conditions including metastatic brain cancer, neurodegenerative disease or traumatic brain injury. 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging has shown significant potential for the non-invasive imaging of key metabolites in the brain.

Targeting Integrin Linked kinase (ILK) in Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal brain tumour in adults, and current treatment options are not very effective. There is an urgent need to find new targets for therapeutic intervention. Read more
Institute of Cancer Sciences
The Institute of Cancer Sciences is part of a national centre of excellence in the fight against cancer. We carry out a programme of world-class science directed at understanding the molecular changes that cause cancer. Read more
Carbon nanotubes in the boron neutron capture therapy of cancer
The early promise of boron neutron capture therapy as a method for the treatment of brain cancer has been mainly inhibited by the inherent toxicity associated with 10B-containing pharmacophores and the need for the ability to cross biological membranes. Read more
Self funded BMS Project_Investigating the Effects of Glucocorticoids on the Development of Lab Grown Mini-brains.
Glucocorticoids are some of the most commonly prescribed therapeutics worldwide because of their low-cost and anti-inflammatory effects. Read more
Glioblastoma: A Nanotechnology Approach for Glioblastoma Targeted Therapy
Research Group:
Medical Engineering
Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer. It’s the most common type of malignant brain tumor among adults and it is usually very aggressive, which means it can grow fast and spread quickly. Read more
The development of Rab27 inhibitors for treatment of cancer cell invasion and proliferation
Rab27 small GTPases regulate movement and exocytosis of secretory granules in cell types including; melanocytes (melanosomes), T lymphocytes (lytic granules), granulocytes (azurophilic granules) and mast cells [1]. Read more
Novel nanoparticle-loaded formulations to enhance the locoregional delivery of anticancer drugs to brain tumours
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest form of primary brain tumour with an extremely poor survival duration of less than 15 months. Read more
Analysing the factors that regulate expression of blood-brain barrier drug transporter proteins
In order to treat diseases associated with the central nervous system (CNS), e.g. cancer, Parkinson’s disease, depression, it is essential for therapeutic drugs to be able to penetrate into the brain. Read more
RNA Interference for Glioblastoma therapy using lipid nanoparticles
University of Central Lancashire Funded Doctoral Training Centre for Industry Collaboration. Inaugural PhD Studentships. The successful applicant will receive an annual stipend payment of £16062 and tuition fees will be covered. Read more
Self funded BMS Project: Neuronal-Src kinases: oncogenes in brain development?
Applications accepted for PhD Only. The challenges of the developing human brain include co-ordinating the birth and migration of 100 billion neurons and the formation of their 1000 trillion synaptic connections. Read more
