Developing immunomodulatory nanotherapeutics for brain cancer
Brain cancers, such as glioblastoma, have extremely poor prognosis primarily due to highly invasive treatment resistant tumour cells that drive recurrence after surgery. 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
Cancer Neuroscience: Investigating the impact of non-CNS tumours on neuronal plasticity in the brain
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
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
(EPSRC DTP) Morphological changes in the growing brain after radiotherapy for paediatric brain tumours
Radiation therapy (RT) helps cure children with brain tumours, but can lead to lifelong toxicities, e.g., impaired cognition, endocrinopathy, and vasculopathy. 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
Communication of tumour cells with the blood-brain barrier
The blood-brain barrier forms the crucial interface between the systemic circulation and the privileged site of the central nervous system (CNS). Read more
Exploring the effect of hypoxia upon glioblastoma progression and response to treatments using a dynamic 3D iPSC-brain organoid
Background. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumour, displaying considerable resistance to drug-/radiation-therapies. Read more
Improving diagnosis in dementia through analysing of longitudinal brain scans (MACKIEWICZM_U23CMP)
Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK. The health and social care costs associated with severe cognitive decline surpass those of both cancer and coronary heart disease. Read more
Dynamic aquaporin-4 subcellular relocalisation in regulating brain fluid homeostasis
Aquaporins facilitate passive, bidirectional water transport in all cells and tissues. In the brain and spinal cord, aquaporin-4 facilitates the exchange of water across the blood-spinal cord and blood-brain barriers, controlling cell volume, extracellular space volume and astrocyte migration. 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
Glycan sensing technology for early and accurate cancer diagnosis
The Mendes group (. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/healthcare-technologies/research/nanoengineering-surface-chemistry/index.aspx. Read more
