Genetic and molecular mechanisms of nervous regeneration and repair

University of Birmingham
School of Biosciences

Dr A Hidalgo

Applications accepted all year round

The project will aim to discover novel molecular mechanisms that could promote central nervous system regeneration. The focus will be on how neurons and glia interact to match their cell populations and functions, and on the regenerative potential of glial cells.

Investigation of the anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin in a mouse model of chronic neuroinflammation – a route for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease?

Western Sydney University
School of Medicine

Dr E Gyengesi, Prof GM Muench

Applications accepted all year round

This project will investigate the effect of chronic glial activation on brain structure and function, and test the efficacy of two cytokine-suppressive anti-inflammatory drugs (CSAIDs) against chronic glial activation and the resulting neuronal damage.

PhD in Cancer Research - Targeting neuroinflammation in mTORC1-driven brain tumours

Cardiff University
Cardiff School of Medicine

Dr A Tee, Prof A Harwood

Application Deadline: 28 February 2019

This project will not only create a new brain tumour model, but will also give us valuable information on mTOR’s involvement in the development of brain tumours.

How does amino acid metabolism affect tumour growth?

Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre
Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology, University of Melbourne

Dr L. Cheng

Applications accepted all year round

The effect of diet on tumour growth is hotly debated but poorly characterized. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the tumours, dietary studies in patients with varied genetic background often led to inconclusive outcome.

Role of hypoxia in promotion of higher grade glioblastoma

University of Bradford
Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics

Dr V Vinader, Dr K Afarinkia

Applications accepted all year round

Glioblastomas are categorized into four grades. Grade I is essentially benign and slow growing, and most amenable to treatment. Grade II tumors are larger and invade surrounding tissue.

Identifying the role of glycosaminoglycans and microglia in early pathology of mucopolysaccharide diseases

University of Manchester
Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Dr B BIgger, Dr R Holley, Prof S Flitsch

Applications accepted all year round

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are inherited metabolic disorders caused by the deficiency of specific lysosomal enzymes required for the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) where each MPS type lacks a specific enzyme resulting in the build-up of GAGs in all cells of the body.
