  PhD in Cancer Research - Targeting neuroinflammation in mTORC1-driven brain tumours
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Medicine
  Dr A Tee, Prof A Harwood
Application Deadline: 28 February 2019
This project will not only create a new brain tumour model, but will also give us valuable information on mTOR’s involvement in the development of brain tumours.

  Understanding the molecular mechanisms which drive brain cancer recurrence and defining novel therapies to target these aggressive tumour cell populations
QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute Medical Research
  Dr B Day
Application Deadline: 30 April 2019
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive adult primary brain cancer. Median survival is. As part of the QIMR-Berghofer Brain Cancer Tissue Bank, we have collected a series of patient specimens which include primary tumours that have not undergone treatment and matching post-treatment recurrent tumours.

  MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Development and application of fast Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging methods for neuro-chemical profiling
University of Leeds MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership
  Prof J Schneider, Dr S Short
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
While Magnetic Resonance Imaging is well established to assess anatomy, structure and function in patients and in animal models of human disease alike, (routine) MR Spectroscopy tools to investigate metabolic alterations are far less common.

  Development of novel inhibitors for the treatment of Glioblastomas
University of Sunderland School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical sciences
  Dr S Ahmed, Dr S Darby
Applications accepted all year round
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common form of brain tumour in adults and is incurable. Despite optimal treatment consisting of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, median survival is 15 month.

  How does amino acid metabolism affect tumour growth?
Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology, University of Melbourne
  Dr L. Cheng
Applications accepted all year round
The effect of diet on tumour growth is hotly debated but poorly characterized. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the tumours, dietary studies in patients with varied genetic background often led to inconclusive outcome.

  MRC Precision Medicine DTP: Quantitative proteomic analysis of dysregulated adhesion protein localisation in patient-derived cancer cells
University of Edinburgh College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine
  Research Group: Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre
  Dr A Byron, Prof M Frame, Prof R Zubarev, Dr A Sims
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Summary. This project seeks to use proteomic data and computational approaches to identify signatures of cell adhesion proteins that are mislocalised in cells from brain cancer patients.

  Prodrugs Activated by Tumour Microenvironment
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
  Dr R Wheelhouse, Prof P Loadman, Prof R M Phillips
Applications accepted all year round
The anticancer drug temozolomide (TMZ), has been in the clinic for treating brain tumours for nearly 30 years. Despite its “Blockbuster” status, no other compounds of this class have reached clinical trial.
