skin cancer PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 28 skin cancer PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Non-invasive skin patches can interrogate interstitial skin fluid to improve skin cancer diagnosis in primary care
This project is co-sponsored by the EPSRC CDT in Chemical Biology and the CRUK Convergence Science Centre. Supervisors. Dr Sylvain Ladame, Department of Bioengineering, Imperial. Read more
The Influence of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on the Development and Prevention of Skin Cancers (Ref: AACME-24-018)
Background. biomedical application of fish oil-derived omega-3 fatty acids. Dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oils has been shown to have various beneficial effects against inflammation and inflammatory diseases, as well as anti-tumour effects. Read more
Microneedle biosensors for rapid and painless disease diagnosis
This project aims to develop rapid disease diagnostics based on transdermal microneedle biosensors. Disease diagnosis often relies on invasive tissue sampling techniques, such as blood sampling or skin biopsies, in order to extract biomarkers for analysis. Read more
A new approach to understanding the role of tumour microenvironment in anticancer drug resistance
St George’s, University of London
MRC London Intercollegiate Doctoral Training Partnership Studentships
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer with the most rapidly growing incidence in the UK. In melanoma, like in many other cancers, the tumour microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in driving anticancer drug resistance. Read more
Sunlight exposure and cutaneous production of vitamin D in Black African/Afro-Caribbean adults
Our main source of vitamin D is through skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and is associated with reduced incidence of several cancers and immune-mediated disorders. Read more
Improving the regenerative capacity of Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa skin by re-activating YAP/TAZ signalling.
This is an exciting opportunity for a 4-year DEBRA UK-funded PhD studentship within the Institute of Dentistry of Barts and The London Medical School and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). Read more
Towards controlling cell-state switching of neural crest differentiation states in melanoma evolution
Melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, exhibits remarkable adaptability, enabling metastasis, therapy resistance, and immune evasion. Central to this adaptability is the ability of melanoma cells to transition between distinct functional states, a process rooted in mechanisms of cell fate choice. Read more
THz sensing and optimisation for biomedical applications
Are you interested in applying physics to situations that could benefit medical diagnosis? Terahertz (1012 Hz, THz) pulsed imaging is a new technique with high resolution (about 20 μm) and has only emerged recently as a potential new clinical tool for medical imaging. Read more
(MB-PhD) Investigation of signalling from the microenvironment in metastasis of invasive lobular breast cancer
This project focuses on lobular breast cancer (LBC), a less-studied subtype of breast cancer constituting about 15% of diagnoses. Read more
CSC PhD studentship: Advancing disease progression prediction by AI with multimodality data
In recent years, AI-based models have rapidly developed and achieved numerous successful applications in clinical practice. Some of the proposed tools have reached a level as real clinicians, where they can identify and predict various diseases, including diabetic retinopathy and skin cancer. Read more
Revealing the correlation between physiology and physical chemistry of microcalcification in connective tissue using AI supported tissue characterization.
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
A fundamental component of human body is connective tissue which serves various structural and supportive functions including skin integrity, abdominal wall enforcement and bone formation. Read more
Circadian rhythm effects on radiotherapy for prostate and other cancers
Research Group:
Human & Medical Genetics
Radiotherapy is used to treat more than 50% of cancer patients, but up to a quarter of patients suffer side effects that can affect their quality of life in the long-term. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: Beyond bone health: How does vitamin D protect our DNA?
This exciting collaborative project between the Universities of Surrey and Reading offers you the opportunity to develop multidisciplinary skills in research studying a novel mechanism of action of vitamin D in human health. Read more
Optimisation of skin-facing antimicrobial surgical devices produced through Additive Manufacturing
Project description. This highly interdisciplinary project combines 3D Printing and silver-based antimicrobial technology in order to reduce the chances of infection following a patient undergoing a Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Read more
Inhibition WNT signalling in colorectal cancer via targeted degradation of FAM83F-CK1a and FAM83G-CK1a complexes
Hyperactivation of WNT/β-catenin signalling is a prominent hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite progress in understanding the pathogensis of CRCs, there are still limited treatment options. Read more
