Data integration and hypothesis testing for brain tumour multi-omics data
This project aims to develop computational and statistical methods for the integrated learning of biological networks from multiple sources to further our understanding of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), a highly aggressive primary brain tumour for which there is currently no cure. Read more
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
Inflammation and brain tumour growth
Our basic research aims to understand fundamental mechanisms of inflammation, such as the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Read more
PhD Studentship (3 years) In Vivo Diagnosis of Paediatric Brain Tumours using Multi-Modal Clinical MRI and Machine Learning
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by Help Harry Help Others (HHHO) and the College of Health and Life Sciences, to be undertaken within the Artificial Intelligence in Paediatric Neuroimaging (AIPNI) Research Group at Aston University. Read more
Understanding the role of the hippo signalling pathway in ependymoma tumour biology
Ependymomas are tumours of the brain and spinal cord which affect paediatric and adult patients, representing the third most common malignant brain tumour in children. 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
Numerical modelling of brain tumours by Cahn-Hillard-type equations
Loughborough University has seen 94% of our research impact rated as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). 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
Investigating the signalling processes that determine directional glioblastoma cell migration
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumour, and currently has a median survival of approximately 15 months. 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

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
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
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
Delivery of THC derivatives across the BBB: functionalised polysaccharides nanocarriers
Cannabis sativa, commonly known as marijuana has been found to contain 525 natural components that fall under several chemical classes. Read more
