Assessing the molecular mechanisms by which Cathepsin V promotes breast cancer growth and metastasis
Targeted therapies such as tamoxifen, fulvestrant and anastrozole have exhibited significant clinical success since being introduced as treatments for Estrogen Receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer patients. Read more
Gene Regulation in Cancer Metastasis
A PhD project in Gene Regulation in Cancer Metastasis is available in the laboratory of Dr Fiona Wardle (. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/wardle-group. Read more
Cancer: Characterization of EGFR signaling activated by the endothelium in the process of breast cancer metastasis to the brain
The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is important in normal physiology regulating epithelial development and homeostasis. In cancer, deregulation resulting from mutation, amplification or transcriptional upregulation promotes tumorigenesis. Read more
Cell biology and evolution of cancer metastasis
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. Read more
Defining the pre-metastatic niche for colorectal cancer dissemination
Colorectal cancer is a major cause of mortality and commonly associated with peritoneal metastasis. However, peritoneum, that covers visceral organs and inner cavity wall, is poorly characterised in terms of its ability to act as a metastatic niche. Read more
Biomedical Engineering: Fully Funded Swansea University, EPSRC and Bruker-nano PhD Scholarship: Analysing the forces, biomechanics and molecular mechanisms that drive cancer metastasis in vitro
Funding providers: Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) DTP and Bruker-nano. Read more
Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer
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. Read more
Mechanisms of cancer cell invasion
Epithelial cancers such as breast cancer become difficult to treat when they invade the surrounding tissues, eventually entering the blood stream and spreading to other parts of the body to form metastases. Read more
Investigate the role of Lamellipodin and the NHS protein family, key regulators of the actin cytoskeleton, in cancer cell migration using CRISPR-Cas9, microfluidics, and advanced 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
Investigating the clinical and molecular significance of the microbiome in breast cancer
Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 15% of new cancer cases. There is a significant unmet clinical need to understand why some cancers do not respond to treatment and what drives metastasis. Read more
Investigating how KRAS modulates extra-cellular matrix interaction in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer with around half of PDAC tumours having already metastasised at the point of diagnosis. Read more
Mechanosensing drives migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer
Tumour cells constantly are required to adapt to a changing environment, including increased mechanical stiffness and starvation for nutrients and oxygen. … Read more
The role of nuclear localisation of adhesion proteins in tumour growth and invasion
Overview. This project seeks to understand how tumour growth and invasion are controlled by the localisation of certain proteins in cancer cells. Read more
Identification and functional importance of RNA and lipid biomarkers in colorectal cancer metastases to liver
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by the College of Health and Life Sciences, at Aston University. Read more
The role of calcium signalling in regulating of tumour cell behaviour
Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in human cancers, yet we know relatively little of the fundamental biology that underlies the important transition to invasive malignancy. Read more
