Targeting the Achilles’ heel – dissecting drug resistance in ovarian cancer

University of Dundee
School of Medicine

Dr G Smith, Dr M Ferguson

Applications accepted all year round

Ovarian cancer, the most common cause of gynaecological cancer death, is frequently diagnosed when the disease is already advanced, when surgery is not always possible.

Therapy-induced senescence and stemness in ovarian cancer

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

Prof R. Pearson, Dr K Chan

Applications accepted all year round

Cellular senescence is a stress response characterized by a robust cell cycle arrest and is a brake for malignant transformation.

Identification and functional characterisation of BRIT1/MCPH1 synthetic lethal genes to treat breast and ovarian cancer

University of Leeds
Faculty of Medicine and Health

Dr S Bell, Prof C A Johnson

Applications accepted all year round

Women who have undergone surgery for breast and ovarian cancer often have additional chemotherapy to kill residual cancer cells and prevent recurrence.

Regulation of gene expression in Drosophila ovarian germline stem cells

University of Manchester
Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Prof H Ashe, Prof M Ashe

Applications accepted all year round

Drosophila germline stem cells (GSCs) are a premier model for understanding stem cell regulation. Upon division, one GSC daughter remains a stem cell, whereas the other differentiates into a cystoblast (CB).
