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
Causal association between physical activity and breast cancer subtype; a Mendelian randomization study (MSc Research)
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide accounting for approximately 25 percent of all new cases of cancer in women. 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
Exploiting stromal matrix as an immunotherapeutic reservoir for targeting of soft tissue sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a group of rare cancer with >50 different histological subtypes of distinct biology and genetics. Despite optimal management of localised disease, over half of patients develop metastatic disease with poor survival outcomes of ~19 months. Read more

Matrix cross-linking – linking diabetes to increased bowel cancer risk
Bowel cancer is the 2nd most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide (CRUK statistics), mainly because many patients are diagnosed in later stages of disease where response to treatment is poor - only 10% of patients with advanced disease survive for 5 years. Read more
New therapeutic approaches against cancer: development of self-reliant, nuclease-resistant bioconjugates to silence highly oncogenic microRNAs
Short functional non-coding microRNAs are implicated in many types of cancer, and thus can be used as biological targets for development of more selective and powerful anticancer therapies. Read more
Characterization of the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis to bone: from basic research to biomarkers
About the Project. Breast cancer is responsible for over 300,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and it is estimated that one in 7 women will develop breast cancer. Read more
Development of risk prediction model to raise awareness and aid Breast Cancer Screening In Thailand and SE Asia.
Asia , where epithelial cancers are an emerging and important disease but wide scale population based screening programs cannot yet be justified fully, approaches to rationing entry into screening investigation programs needs to be implemented selectively. Read more
Data driven solutions to improving cancer diagnosis
This is a two prong project. The student will develop skills running small clinical studies that implement data-driven prediction algorithms to identify and test for cancer people who are at an increased risk. Read more
