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
Development of nano-encapsulated zinc and copper-diethyldithiocarbamate as novel immunomodulatory and cancer stem cell targeting medicine for multiple myeloma treatment
Supervisory Team: Professor Weiguang Wang, Professor Basu Supratik, Dr Vinodh Kannappan. Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common blood cancer. Read more
Medical and Health Care Studies: Fully Funded Cancer Research Wales PhD Scholarship: Developing Small-Molecule inhibitors of GATA2: A Novel Approach to Target Leukaemia Blasts and Stem Cells in Therapy-Resistant Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Funding providers: Cancer Research Wales. Subject areas: Drug discovery / Medicinal chemistry/ Leukaemia /Anticancer. Read more
The role of extracellular vesicles in lung epithelial cell communication in health and disease
It is estimated that more than 1 bn people suffer from acute and chronic lung problems resulting in millions of deaths every year. Read more
Haematopoietic stem cell dysfunction in ageing and disease
Adult organs are maintained by specialised stem cells that persist throughout life thanks to their ability to make exact copies of themselves, all the time retaining the ability to on demand produce the differentiated component cells of the tissue of which they are a part. Read more
Understanding the gene regulatory landscape of embryonic stem cells and cancer cells
Cell identity is ultimately determined through decoding the genome through the action of gene regulatory mechanisms. In particular, sculpting of the chromatin landscape to reveal unique configurations of gene regulatory elements in each cell type is a major driver of cell identity. Read more
Investigating novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer stem cells in neuroblastoma
Cancer stem cells present a huge clinical problem in cancer relapse due to their stem cell-like characteristics including enhanced self-renewal, migration, and resistance to chemotherapy. Read more
Machine learning and statistical modelling of trans-omic networks in controlling cell identity, cell-fate decisions, and cancers
The advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and phosphoproteomics, and next-generation sequencing-based transcriptomics and epigenomics create the opportunity to study cell identity, cell-fate decisions, and complex diseases such as cancers at a system level. Read more
Gene Regulation in Cancer Metastasis
A PhD project in Gene Regulation in Cancer Metastasis is available in the laboratory of Dr Fiona Wardle (. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/wardle-group. Read more
Cancer: Epigenetic therapy using microbubble-mediated drug delivery for colorectal cancer
The project is an interdisciplinary, pre-clinical study that aims to investigate the response of human tumour cells to treatment with epigenetic inhibitors (including DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, HDAC inhibitors and/or vitamin C), as a potential combination therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC). Read more
Cancer: Why and how do brain tumour cells invade ‘mini-brains’?
Globally, nearly 189,000 people die each year as a result of brain cancer and around 250,000 people are diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour (umbrella name. Read more
PhD Student (f/m/x) Cancer research
University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden
Department of Visceral, Thoracic and Vascular (VTG) Surgery
Jointly expanding knowledge in order to advance medicine. The Dept. of Visceral, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery at the University Hospital Dresden is one of the leading surgical departments for cancer treatment in Europe. Read more
Understanding transcription factor complexes controlling endothelial cell quiescence and escape from quiescence
Endothelial cell proliferation and lymphatic cell proliferation is initiated during angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis respectively and are both regulated by the VEGF signalling pathway. With some exceptions, endothelial and lymphatic cells in healthy individuals are quiescent and do not proliferate. Read more
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as model systems to study hematological malignancies
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a type of blood cancer originating at the level of haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and often progress to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Read more
Identifying novel therapeutic targets in CMML
Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) is a clonal stem cell neoplasm defined by abnormal monocytosis and dysplasia. A quarter of CMML patients progress to acute myeloid leukaemia and these patients have dismal prognosis. Read more
