  Exploring mechanisms of resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy in breast cancer
University of Sheffield Oncology and Metabolism
  Dr C Kanthou, Prof N Brown
Applications accepted all year round
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenesis inducer and is often overexpressed in cancer. Circulating levels of VEGF as well as tumour microvessel density are of prognostic value in breast cancer.

  Improved Breast Cancer Diagnosis System based on Squeeze-and-Excitation Switching Residual Neural Network
University of Leicester Department of Informatics
  Prof Y Zhang, Prof R Raman
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
Over 2,000,000 women between 50 and 70 years of age will be invited for breast screening as part of the NHS Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP), which aims to detect breast tumours at a stage early enough that treatment is likely to be successful.

  Functional significance of IL-1B in breast cancer bone metastases
University of Sheffield Oncology and Metabolism
  Dr P Ottewell
Applications accepted all year round
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and leading cause of death in women worldwide. Up to 75% of patients with advanced breast cancer develop bone metastases and patients with this condition have a median survival of around 2-3 years.
