Using single cell transcriptomic and blood proteomic data to understand how pancreatic cancer causes diabetes and to find ways to detect the cancer earlier.
Background. Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest of the common cancers. Five-year survival remains low at 10%. Sadly for 80% of patients, by the time their cancer is diagnosed it has spread to distant organs making them ineligible for potentially curative surgery. 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.

Understanding barriers and facilitators of dietary and lifestyle interventions to reduce side effects of treatment and improve outcomes in South Asian men with prostate cancer
Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of male mortality, with 336,000 deaths worldwide each year (1). Although most PCa cases are indolent, slow-growing, and tend not to progress, a subset of cases are aggressive and progress to metastases, treatment resistance and death. Read more
Economic analyses of decision support tools for the early detection of upper gastrointestinal cancer in UK primary care
Applications are invited from graduates with a BSc (First or Upper Second) or MSc (Merit or Distinction), or equivalent, to pursue PhD study at the Wolfson Institute of Population Health. 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

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
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
Optimising cancer-related health care in the context of multimorbidity
Many long-term conditions (e.g., diabetes, mental illnesses, dementia) can adversely impact cancer-protective behaviours, including participation in routine cancer screening, prompt and effective help-seeking for potential cancer symptoms, and access to and engagement with optimal cancer treatment and supportive cancer care, including pain relief.
