Metabolic rewiring in liver cancer: Role of oxidative stress and the Nrf2 pathway

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

Dr A. Cox

Applications accepted all year round

Many of the major risks factors for developing liver cancer such as alcohol, obesity, smoking and toxin exposure share in common a role for oxidative stress.

Effect of oxidative stress on the biochemistry of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)-lyase enzymes in tropical reef organisms - to start October 2019 - for an MSc by Dissertation (MSD

University of Essex
School of Biological Sciences

Dr M Steinke, Dr M Hough, Dr J Worrall

Application Deadline: 24 April 2019

Rationale. Tropical coral reefs are a substantial source of the climate-cooling gas dimethyl sulfide (DMS). The major precursor of DMS is the secondary metabolite dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) that is biosynthesised to high concentrations in symbiotic dinoflagellates of the tropical genus Symbiodinium [1].

Synthesis and study of metal chelators against neurodegenerative diseases and cancer (ref:SF18/APP/Tetard)

Northumbria University
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

Dr D Tetard

Applications accepted all year round

Because of the involvement of metal in numerous biological processes, in particular in oxidative stress and enzymatic action, the study of metal chelators as potential therapeutic agents has been growing.

A hidden biochemical pathway in the chemical pathology of diabetes (HAMILTONCU19SF)

University of East Anglia
School of Pharmacy

Dr C Hamilton

Applications accepted all year round

In humans, the cysteine-containing tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is an essential thiol cofactor that maintains an intracellular reducing environment to protect against oxidative stress reactive oxygen species, which cause lipid, protein & DNA damage.
