Defining targeting vulnerabilities in breast cancer stem cells
Applications are invited for a 4-year self-funded PhD Studentship starting all year round. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer worldwide and remains a leading cause of death in females. Read more
Exploring the role of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in stem cells of serous ovarian cancer
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of mortality in women due to gynaecological cancers. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) accounts for 70-80% of patients with EOC. 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
Studying protein homeostasis in healthy and malignant stem cells
This PhD will focus on studying the protein biology of healthy and malignant stem cells of the blood system. Read more
Dissecting mechanisms that control adult stem cells in health, disease, and ageing
Research interests/description of main research theme. Read more
Integrating Electrical Fields with Smart Nanoparticles and Biomimetic Hydrogels for Targeted Glioblastoma Therapy
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal primary brain tumour in adults, with a high recurrence rate and limited treatment options. Read more
MSc By Research: Investigating the contextual mechanisms of WNT signalling in hypoblast vs extraembryonic mesoderm specification in early human development using stem cell models
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as model systems to study hematological malignancies
Applications are invited for a 4-year self-funded PhD Studentship starting all year round. 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
Cellular signalling mechanisms in iPSC-derived cardiovascular cells
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer an advanced platform for disease modelling, drug discovery, and regenerative therapies. Read more
Understanding gene regulation by HDAC1 complexes in development and cancer
Packaging DNA into nucleosomes helps protect the long fragile genomes of eukaryotic species. However, in doing so it becomes an ever-present physical barrier to the machinery required for its replication, repair and transcription. Read more
Epigenetics of early human development: From molecular mechanisms to regenerative medicine
The 46th chromosome in XX female mammals, the second X, has to be switched off. That way females equalize gene dosage of X-linked genes with XY males. Read more
The tipping point: what drives the progression of breast precancer cells
Project Overview. Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of how epithelial tissues maintain a homeostatic state throughout the lifespan of mammals is a major challenge for developmental and stem cell biology. 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
Identifying therapeutically-targetable mechanisms of PIK3CA mutant-specific signal transfer
The Madsen Lab is dedicated to a systems understanding of PI3K signalling plasticity, inspired by observations from human disorders such as cancer and PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) 1,2. Read more
Investigating the Phase separation underlying the transcriptional regulation and 3D chromatin organisation in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) pathogenesis.
Stipend. Standard Research Council London Rate + Tuition Fees (Home rate) for 3 years. A consumables budget is also provided. Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship based in the Centre for Haematology, Department of Immunology & Inflammation at Imperial College London. Read more
