Studying of cancer biology with doped magnetic nanomaterials to unravelling their thermal therapeutic potentials
Cancer has a major impact on society, this is reflected by the large number of newly diagnosed cases (375,400 annually for the years 2015-2018 in the UK, i.e. Read more
Cancer biology: identification of new treatment options for EML4-ALK driven lung cancer through understanding mechanisms of cell division and migration.
Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-related deaths in the UK and worldwide. While little progress has been made in long-term survival rates, we now have a good understanding of the genetic drivers raising the prospect of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. Read more
Developing new cancer therapeutic agents from foodstuff: characterizing galectin interaction with novel inhibitors
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed. Galectins are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that are commonly over-expressed by many types of cancers such as colorectal, lung, breast, prostate cancer and melanoma. Read more
Regulation of nuclear actin in human cancer
Actin is a cytoskeletal protein that plays essential roles in many cellular processes, such as adhesion, intracellular trafficking, membrane dynamics and motility. Read more
Prostate cancer signalling to the bone micro-environment - from molecular characterization to potential novel therapies.
About the Project. Prostate cancer is responsible for over 52,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and is the most common cancer in males, accounting for 27% of all new cancer cases diagnosed within men in 2016-2017. Read more
Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer
Recent research suggests that cancer cells within a tumour represent a highly heterogeneous cell population. In particular many tumours contain small percentage of cells that share several characteristics with stem cells. Read more
The anti-cancer potential and pharmacological characterisation of Frankincense resin
Interviews will be held on. End of June / early July 2022. The candidate must be able to register by 19th September 2022. Description. Read more
Normal and leukaemic stem/progenitor cell biology and immune responses to blood cancer cells.
Blood cell differentiation is one of the best characterised models to study how normal tissue-specific stem cells give rise to diverse cell types. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: Using human genetics to identify novel targets for colorectal cancer prevention
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common adult cancers in the UK(1). Along with lifestyle interventions and screening (i.e. Read more
Institute of Chemical Biology (ICB) EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Chemical Biology: Innovation for the Life Sciences
Fully funded four-year studentships available for UK and International students. The Institute of Chemical Biology (ICB) Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) is a postgraduate training programme, which forms the heart of the ICB at Imperial College London. Read more
Role of centriolar proteins in invasion
Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that detect mechanical and chemical stimuli. Although cilia house a number of oncogenic molecules (including Smoothened, KRAS, EGFR, and PDGFR), their precise role in cancer remains unclear. Read more
Bioengineering bone models for translational applications
Cell behaviour is regulated by three-dimensional (3D) cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions with its microenvironment. Read more
Investigating the Role of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Tumour-Mediated Immunosuppression in pancreaticobiliary cancer employing spatial biology characterisation
TO APPLY CLICK 'INSTITUTION WEBSITE' . PDAC has one of the worst outcomes of any cancer, with a 5-year survival of less than 5%. Read more
Continuous monitoring of acquired resistance to targeted therapy using circulating small RNA sequences( Ref: WD_2022_14_WSCH)
Post summary. Applications are invited for a PhD position funded by WIT Presidents PhD Scholarship Programme. The work will involve working in areas of Cancer Biology. Read more
