brain cancer PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 35 brain cancer PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Identifying secreted biomarkers in brain cancer
Stage IV brain cancer or glioblastoma (GBM) poses a major challenge with only 5 FDA approved chemotherapeutic drugs available for treatment. Read more
Developing a new therapeutic strategy for brain cancers: getting therapeutics directly to the tumour
Some brain cancers cannot be surgically removed, and many potent therapeutics cannot reach the tumour site. This project aims to overcome these hurdles by utilizing a recently developed multifunctional nanoparticle drug delivery system that can be injected directly into tumours. Read more
Cancer: Why and how do brain tumour cells invade ‘mini-brains’?
Globally, nearly 189,000 people die each year as a result of brain cancer and around 250,000 people are diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour (umbrella name. Read more
Liquid biopsy biomarkers for early detection of paediatric brain tumours
Over the past four decades, significant advancements have been made in the treatment of childhood cancer, leading to a substantial increase in cure and survival rates. Read more
Cancer Neuroscience: Investigating the impact of non-CNS tumours on neuronal plasticity in the brain
To apply, please contact Dr Graham Sheridan at Graham.Sheridan@nottingham.ac.uk. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in approximately 18 million new cases and 10 million deaths each year. Read more
Cancer: Characterization of EGFR signaling activated by the endothelium in the process of breast cancer metastasis to the brain
The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is important in normal physiology regulating epithelial development and homeostasis. In cancer, deregulation resulting from mutation, amplification or transcriptional upregulation promotes tumorigenesis. Read more
Identification of lung cancer patients at higher risk for brain metastasis using microfluidics
Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 1st January 2025. . Project Description. Read more
Multi-modal spatial data integration to predict breast cancer treatment response
Research Group:
Ali Group
Overview. Dr Raza Ali wishes to recruit a student to work on the project entitled. "Multi-modal spatial data integration to predict breast cancer treatment response". Read more
Vascularisation of tumour organoids for mechanistic and drug development
Gliomas such as are the most common form of brain tumour, a subset Glioblastoma (GBM) are devastating adult brain cancer with high rates of recurrence and treatment resistance. Read more
Evaluation of Tripterygium wilfordii derived compounds as novel treatments for medulloblastoma.
Medulloblastoma is the most common paediatric malignant brain tumour, accounting for 20% of childhood brain tumours cases per annum in the United Kingdom alone, with approximately one-third of patients dying from the disease worldwide. Read more
Investigating local invasion in primary and secondary brain tumours
Brain tumours are highly invasive and carry a poor prognosis. Secondary brain tumours or brain metastases (BM) are the most common tumours found in the brain affecting up to one third of patients with solid organ cancer. Read more
New Drugs for Brain Tumours: A Locoregional Implant Brain Tumours
Research Group:
Medicines Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Next-generation temozolomide derivatives for the treatment of high-grade glioma have been developed at the University of Bradford. Read more
MAPK signalling pathways regulating the blood brain barrier
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
We invite applications for a 3-year PhD project to investigate cellular signalling regulating the function of the blood brain barrier. Read more
Early-Stage Cancer Detection with Lightweight and Robust Machine Learning [SELF-FUNDED STUDENTS ONLY]
This PhD project addresses the challenge of early-stage cancer detection. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming medical diagnosis, such as cancer detection. Read more
