How do bacteria contribute to aggressive prostate cancer? – A joint lab/bioinformatics PhD studentship
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and ~307,000 men die every year. We know that infectious agents, such as bacteria and viruses, are involved in the development of a variety of cancers such as cervical, stomach, and bladder cancer. Read more
Applying machine learning to sequencing data to predict prostate cancer outcome.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and an estimated 307,000 men annually die from PCa worldwide. Read more
Bioinformatic analyses of patients with cancer to identify novel biomarkers of survival
Our group identifies inherited genetic changes that influence risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) and considers whether these variants might affect patient survival. Read more
Opportunities for research studying Cancer at the University of Sheffield, Department of Oncology and Metabolism.
The Department of Oncology and Metabolism, based in the Medical School, is a multidisciplinary department that has 4 main themes. Read more
Measuring cancer evolution in a changing tumour microenvironment
Application Deadline. Open until the position is filled. Requirements. The candidate should have a first class or upper second class honours degree, or a master’s degree (or equivalent qualification), in Computational Biology/Bioinformatics/Mathematical Biology/Computer Science/Physics. Read more
Using organoids and Drosophila to define a novel colorectal tumour suppressor gene encoded on the frequently deleted 1p22 locus
Project Details. Gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancers are amongst the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide and in the UK, bowel cancer is the second biggest cause of cancer deaths. Read more

Precision Medicine DTP – Analysis of dynamics of body composition using computerised tomography scans and their association to molecular taxonomy in pancreatic cancer.
Background. Pancreatic cancer (PC) has recently overtaken breast cancer to be the third most common cause of cancer related death in the western societies and is predicted to overtake colorectal cancer as the second most common cause by 2030 [ref]. Read more
Cancer: Inhibiting cell metabolism to enhance tumour cell death
All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more
Metabolic reprogramming in cancer: starving tumors of essential nutrients to promote cell death
All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more

Genome Diversification in Cancer and Adaptive Immunity
Genomic instability (GI) is a hallmark of cancer that plays a central role in its initiation and development. GI can arise as a result of germline and somatic mutations that compromise a cell’s ability to accurately sense, signal or repair DNA damage. Read more
