Using single cell transcriptomic and blood proteomic data to understand how pancreatic cancer causes diabetes and to find ways to detect the cancer earlier.
Background. Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest of the common cancers. Five-year survival remains low at 10%. Sadly for 80% of patients, by the time their cancer is diagnosed it has spread to distant organs making them ineligible for potentially curative surgery. Read more

Targeting matricellular interactions to treat pancreatic cancer
Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship available in Dr Natasha Hill’s group within the School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Plymouth, UK. 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
The role of RNA-binding proteins in determining pancreatic beta-cell fate and diabetes
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a significant determinant in the development of type-1 and type-2 diabetes as it has been shown to promote the dysfunction and death of insulin secreting pancreatic beta cells. 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
Growth factor isoforms in neural and pancreatic beta cell differentiation
Disorders in which specific cells malfunction and degenerate, such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disease, are a huge unmet health need for which there are currently no curative treatments. Read more
PhD candidate for the study of sex-specific differences in the endocrine regulation of glucose homeostasis (f/m/x)
Our mission as research center. Discover personalized medical solutions for environmentally triggered diseases to promote a healthier society in a rapidly changing world. Read more
Economic analyses of decision support tools for the early detection of upper gastrointestinal cancer in UK primary care
Applications are invited from graduates with a BSc (First or Upper Second) or MSc (Merit or Distinction), or equivalent, to pursue PhD study at the Wolfson Institute of Population Health. Read more
Evaluation of the therapeutic potential of microRNAs (miRNAs) for diabetes and related metabolic disorders
A fully-funded PhD opportunity for a candidate to join a multidisciplinary team led by Atlantic Technological University to investigate the therapeutic potential of microRNAs in the treatment of diabetes. Read more
Defining the roles of mRNA methylation in physiology behaviour
Methylation is a pervasive biochemical modification targeting virtually all types of molecules in our cells, including DNA, RNA and proteins. Read more
Studying of cancer biology with doped magnetic nanomaterials to unravelling their thermal therapeutic potentials
Cancer has a major impact on society, this is reflected by the large number of newly diagnosed cases (375,400 annually for the years 2015-2018 in the UK, i.e. Read more
MSc by Research: Understanding the functions of ERphagy via its targeted cargos
The selective degradation of the endoplasmic reticulum via autophagy, also known as ERphagy, is a fundamental cellular process that has been observed under different stresses and stimuli. Read more
Molecular characterization of galectin-ligand interactions in cancer and beyond
Galectins are multifunctional carbohydrate-binding proteins that are expressed by many types of human cells such as epithelial and immune cells. Read more
FGFR signalling in cancer
Growth factors are used during development to convey messages that tell cells to divide, survive, migrate, and adopt a particular fate. Read more
Biological significance, predictive value and targeting of cell surface antigens in colorectal cancer.
Despite major advances in its early detection, preventive measures and therapeutic options, colorectal cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Read more
