  Cell biology and evolution of cancer metastasis
University of Reading School of Biological Sciences
  Dr P R Dash
Applications accepted all year round
We are interested in the spread of cancer, a process called metastasis. Metastasis is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths and there are currently no effective treatments to stop this process.

  Targeting chemokine receptors to prevent cancer cell metastasis (MUELLERAU19SF)
University of East Anglia School of Pharmacy
  Dr A Mueller
Application Deadline: 10 May 2019

  Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer
University of Reading School of Pharmacy
  Dr D Widera
Applications accepted all year round
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.

  Parallels between wound healing and cancer – role of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Centre for Skin Sciences
  Dr M J Thornton, Prof A M Graham
Applications accepted all year round
Wound healing and cancer metastasis share common early signalling pathways that have led to the hypothesis that tumours are “wounds that do not heal”, a phrase first coined by Virchow in the 19th century.

  Molecular mechanisms underpinning EML4 driven microtubule stabilization and cell migration
University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology
  Dr A M Fry, Prof K Brown
Application Deadline: 1 January 2019
EML4 is a poorly characterised microtubule-associated protein [1]. The purpose of this cell biology-focused PhD project is to explore the molecular mechanisms through which EML4 regulates microtubule dynamics and cell migration.
