(EPSRC DTP) Engineering Selective Antimicrobials: Defining Structure Activity Toxicity Relationships in Polymeric Biguanides

The University of Manchester

Division of Pharmacy and Optometry

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest global health challenges and was associated with nearly 5 million deaths worldwide in 2019. Read more

Supervisors: Dr E.A. Al-Ani, Prof A McBain, Dr AR Raoof

16 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

(MCRC Non-Clinical) Personalising Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer Through Mathematical Modelling.

The University of Manchester

Division of Cancer Sciences

Radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still largely one-size-fits-all — dose and fractionation are set by tumour stage and performance status, despite variation in how individual tumours actually behave. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A McWilliam, Prof C Faivre-Finn, Dr SD Barrett

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

(MCRC Clinical) Tissue mechanics as regulator of therapy resistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

The University of Manchester

Division of Cancer Sciences

Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma is a treatment recalcitrant tumour, driven by activation of the proto-oncogene KRAS. Recent development and clinical testing of KRAS inhibitors has demonstrated clinical benefits in second-line pre-treated patients, however development of resistance and disease progression is inevitable. Read more

Supervisors: Dr C Jorgensen, Prof M Rattray, Dr Colin Lindsay

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

(MCRC Clinical) Early detection and therapeutic interception of KRAS-mutant pre-cancerous lung lesions

The University of Manchester

Division of Cancer Sciences

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, largely because many patients are diagnosed after the disease has already become advanced and difficult to treat. Read more

Supervisors: Prof A Malliri, Dr WD McDaid, Dr Colin Lindsay

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

(MCRC Clinical) Gut-Immune-Leukaemia Crosstalk in Aged AML: Mechanisms of Response to p38 MAPK-Targeted Combination Therapy

The University of Manchester

Division of Cancer Sciences

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) predominantly affects older patients, who tolerate intensive curative therapy poorly and are typically treated with non-curative regimens involving azacitidine (AZA), alone or with the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN). Read more

Supervisors: Dr SV Valletta, Dr A Virós, Dr JL Loke, Dr EG Giampazolias

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Mapping ceramides in atherosclerotic plaques to understand the role of lipids in cardiovascular disease

University of Aberdeen

School of Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition

This studentship aims to uncover the mechanistic basis of why fats, and in particular a subset of fats called ceramides, are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) by studying the lipid composition of atherosclerotic plaques - the deposits of fat, cholesterol and dead cells that accumulate in arteries and lead to CVD and heart attacks.

21 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

How do the two meters of DNA in our genome fold inside a micron-sized nucleus?

Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)

CRG International PhD Programme 2027

How do the two meters of DNA in our genome fold inside a micron-sized nucleus? How does improper folding contribute to disease?. Who are we looking for?. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Marti-Renom

22 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Studying how RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control mRNA translation and impact cancer progression

Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)

CRG International PhD Programme 2027

The Gebauer lab studies how RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control mRNA translation and impact cancer progression. We are interested in RBP regulatory networks, which mechanisms RBPs use to regulate translation, and how they can be harnessed for cancer treatment. Read more

Supervisor: Dr F Gebauer

22 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
