Breast Reconstruction: Design, fabrication and charactrisations of 3D printed breast construct for females with breast cancer after mastectomy.
Research Group:
Medical Engineering
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the UK, with over 55,000 new cases every year. Currently about 18,000 mastectomies are performed on the NHS each year in England. Read more
MScR: Role of the Rho GTPase RhoD in breast cancer
Epithelial cancers such as breast cancer become difficult to treat when they invade the surrounding tissues, eventually entering the blood stream and spreading to other parts of the body to form metastases. Read more
Developing Real Time Technique for Breast Ultrasound Lesion Detection and Recognition
This proposal will develop algorithms and software to improve ultrasound breast lesion detection and recognition. This will be achieved using computer vision to build up a real-time scanning system, alerting the user of the appearance and type of suspicious lesions. Read more
Role of the Rho GTPase RhoD in cancer
Epithelial cancers such as breast cancer become difficult to treat when they invade the surrounding tissues, eventually entering the blood stream and spreading to other parts of the body to form metastases. Read more
Interactions between dietary isothiocyanates and anti-cancer drug sorafenib in breast cancer (BAOY_U23MED204350)
High consumption of cruciferous vegetables can reduce the risk of cancer. Read more
Investigating the clinical and molecular significance of the microbiome in breast cancer
Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 15% of new cancer cases. There is a significant unmet clinical need to understand why some cancers do not respond to treatment and what drives metastasis. Read more
Decoding the epigenetic mechanisms of drug resistance in aggressive breast cancers
Breast cancers pose a major health burden to modern world as being the most common cancer in women. Estrogen receptor (ER), the classical marker of 70% these cancers, is the nuclear receptor important for cancer progression. Read more
Therapeutic modulation of radioiodine uptake in thyroid and breast cancer
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in thyroid or breast cancer led by Professor Chris McCabe at the University of Birmingham (Professor Chris McCabe - Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research - University of Birmingham). Read more
Investigating the mechanisms that drive breast cancer metastasis to the brain
In recent years our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer development and evolution has improved greatly. However, there is still much to be discovered about the molecular biology that determines the spread (metastasis) of tumours to distant organs. Read more
Assessing the molecular mechanisms by which Cathepsin V promotes breast cancer growth and metastasis
Targeted therapies such as tamoxifen, fulvestrant and anastrozole have exhibited significant clinical success since being introduced as treatments for Estrogen Receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer patients. Read more
Cancer: Understanding the immunosuppressive role of fibroblast and macrophages in Breast cancer
Oncolytic viruses (OVs) preferentially infect and kill cancer cells, and their clinical efficacy has been demonstrated against a number of different cancers. The most clinically advanced OV is a genetically engineered herpes simplex virus (T-VEC) which expresses GMCSF to aid the development of anti-tumour immune responses; T-VEC is approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. 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
Cancer: Repurposing drugs as new treatments for breast cancer
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer, with over 1 million new cases diagnosed worldwide each year. For some types of BC, hormonal treatments have been very effective but one particular BC subtype, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), is highly aggressive and lacks a targeted therapy. Read more
Last chance to apply
(EPSRC DTP) Development of bioinks and bioprinting methods to model the human mammary gland
Changes in the mechanical properties of tissues are correlated with many diseases, including cancer. We are particularly interested in the study of breast cancer, which remains the second highest cause of mortality in women. Read more
Mechanisms of cancer cell invasion
Epithelial cancers such as breast cancer become difficult to treat when they invade the surrounding tissues, eventually entering the blood stream and spreading to other parts of the body to form metastases. Read more
