Improved survival analyses in molecular cancer studies
Improved survival (whether this is literal survival, time to a change in symptoms, or time to disease progression) is a key outcome in cancer research. Read more
Investigating anaerobic bacteria and the effects on immune modulation in prostate cancer (COOPER_U25MMB)
Project Supervisor - Prof Colin Cooper. Secondary Supervisor & Organisation - Dr Rachel Hurst, University of East Anglia. Read more
Advanced In Vitro Cancer Modelling for High-Throughput Anti-Cancer Prodrug Evaluation
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Traditionally used, non-selective anti-cancer treatments such as chemotherapeutics are still frequently administered to patients today. Read more
A bioengineered 3D model of obesity-related breast cancer to investigate the anti-tumour immune response induced by exercise (Ref: SSEHS/MM25)
Background. Breast cancer diagnoses affect 1 in 7 UK women, estimated to coast ~£3.6 billion by 2034 (breastcancernow.org). Lifestyle factors, including sedentary behaviour and obesity, significantly influence breast cancer risk, with inactivity alone costing ~£7.4 billion/year (www.gov.uk/phe). Read more
CRUK Black Leaders in Cancer Non-Clinical PhD Scholarship: The ageing tumour microenvironment in ER+ breast cancer - identifying age-associated regulators of cytotoxic T-cell infiltration and activity
This programme is aimed at students from Black heritage backgrounds pursuing a PhD in cancer-related fields. This scheme is open to people who self-identify as being from a Black heritage background, including a mixed background, for example. Read more
Targeting steroid metabolism to block colorectal cancer proliferation
Our group is a world leader in targeting specific aspects of steroid metabolism to block cancer growth. Our research has been instrumental in the successful pre-clinical and clinical development of various novel anti-cancer compounds. Read more
Cancer Neuroscience: Investigating the impact of non-CNS tumours on neuronal plasticity in the brain
To apply, please contact Dr Graham Sheridan at Graham.Sheridan@nottingham.ac.uk. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in approximately 18 million new cases and 10 million deaths each year. Read more
Has COVID-19 altered the relationship between residential geography and cancer experiences and outcomes in Scotland
Applications are invited for this self-funded 48 Month project within the Institute of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Aberdeen. Read more
Developing novel in vitro cancer models to investigate key drivers of metastasis
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Approximately 90% of cancer related deaths are due to metastasis, the process by which cancer spreads to other parts of the body. Read more
Transforming Lives, PhD Scholarship at Sheffield Hallam University: Exercise Prescription and Physical Activity Promotion for Cancer Survivors
Applications are invited for a Transforming Lives PhD Scholarship at the School of Sport and Physical Activity, Sheffield Hallam University, commencing 1 October 2025. Read more
Targeting the MAPK scaffold protein KSR1 for the treatment of prostate cancer
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of male cancer deaths. It arises when individual cells escape their normal growth control mechanisms and proliferate in an uncontrolled fashion. Read more
Synthesis of high heating doped magnetic nanoparticles and unravelling of their heating effect on cancer biology for effective treatment
Cancer has a major impact on society. Around 392,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK (2020-2021) (https://www.macmillan.org.uk/). Read more
PhD Opportunity - Investigating the prognostic value of spatial immunophenotypes in lung cancer
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project description. Tumour microenvironments (TMEs) profoundly influence cancer progression and shape the response to anti-cancer therapy. Read more
Investigate the switch between mesenchymal and amoeboid cancer cell migration using CRISPR-Cas9, microfluidics, and 3D live cell imaging.
Cancer is a devastating disease. more than one in three people in the UK will develop cancer in their lifetime. Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer related deaths. Read more
Live cell imaging of epithelial cancer cell proliferation for therapy
The School of Molecular & Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more
