Palliative care needs of patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Lung Cancer in North Lancashire and South Cumbria
This exciting funded PhD project, supervised by experienced clinical academics is based at Lancaster University and will research health services in North Lancashire and South Cumbria. Read more
Cancer biology: identification of new treatment options for EML4-ALK driven lung cancer through understanding mechanisms of cell division and migration.
Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-related deaths in the UK and worldwide. While little progress has been made in long-term survival rates, we now have a good understanding of the genetic drivers raising the prospect of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. 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
Medicinal Chemistry Project: Synthesis of novel small molecules for the potential treatment of the asbestos induced lung cancer mesothelioma
The Project. In developing a new therapeutic agent, there are two questions to address. how to get the potential drug to the specific site in the body where it is needed and second, does it do what we want it to do at the target site and without undesirable side effects. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Development of a cheap sensitive blood test for early detection of brain metastasis using fluorescent carbon dots and nanophotonics
Development of a cheap sensitive blood test for early detection of brain metastasis using fluorescent carbon dots and nanophotonics. Read more
Prostate cancer signalling to the bone micro-environment - from molecular characterization to potential novel therapies.
About the Project. Prostate cancer is responsible for over 52,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and is the most common cancer in males, accounting for 27% of all new cancer cases diagnosed within men in 2016-2017. Read more

Investigating the Role of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Tumour-Mediated Immunosuppression in pancreaticobiliary cancer employing spatial biology characterisation
TO APPLY CLICK 'INSTITUTION WEBSITE' . PDAC has one of the worst outcomes of any cancer, with a 5-year survival of less than 5%. Read more
FGFR signalling in breast cancer
Growth factors are used during development to convey messages that tell cells to divide, survive, migrate and adopt a particular fate. Read more
Self Funded PhD project: Biological Evaluation of Ruthenium (II) complexes Targeted against Breast Cancers (BRUT BC)
MCF-7 cells are primary tumour invasive breast ductal carcinoma which have both oestrogen and progesterone receptors. Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) inhibits the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Read more
Investigating spatial variations in cancer incidence rates using geographic information systems.
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
An interdisciplinary PhD project using geographic information systems (GIS) data-driven approaches to investigate geospatial patterns in cancer incidence and their possible underlying environmental determinants to inform primary prevention. Read more
FGF signalling in regulation of tumour immune microenvironment
Immune “cold” tumours are tumours with little infiltrations of T lymphocytes and therefore immune suppressed, developed by a mechanism of evasion from immune surveillance through cancer progression (Hallmarks of Cancer). Read more
Characterization of the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis to bone: from basic research to biomarkers
About the Project. Breast cancer is responsible for over 300,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and it is estimated that one in 7 women will develop breast cancer. Read more
Biomarkers of Genotoxic and Reprotoxic Effects after chemical exposure in vitro in human cells
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
In human monitoring, procedure measurement obtained from endpoints from endpoints to determine genetic damage are sometimes referred to as biomarkers. Read more
The anti-cancer activity of Croton fishlockii used as a medicinal plant in traditional herbal medicines.
Within the sphere of cancer chemotherapy, many commercialised drugs have been obtained by the synthesis of new compounds, from natural sources or by structural modification of natural products. Read more
self - funded PhD Project: Synthesis of Targeted Ruthenium (II) therapeutics against Breast Cancers (STRUT BC)
TU Dublin have developed synthetic protocols for the synthesis and characterisation of a library of compounds developed that take a systematic approach… Read more
