Bioinformatics (cancer) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 65 Bioinformatics (cancer) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Using single cell transcriptomic and blood proteomic data to understand how pancreatic cancer causes diabetes and to find ways to detect the cancer earlier

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest of the common cancers. Five-year survival remains low at 12%. 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

Experimental and computational Cancer PhD: Overcoming osteosarcoma chemoresistance by characterizing and targeting cellular quiescence

Cancer is the leading cause of death in children and the second in young adults in England and Wales. Sarcomas, tumours that originate from connective tissues (bone, muscle, fat), account for around 15% of childhood cancers. Read more

AI-based Identification of New Drug Targets for Personalised Oncology

A fully funded PhD Studentship is available to work with Professor Francesca Ciccarelli, Lead of the Centre for Cancer Genomics and Computational Biology, Bart's Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London. Read more

Combining CRISPR-screens and AI to Identify Novel Therapeutic Strategies to Target Cancer-Stroma Interactions

A fully funded PhD Studentship is available to work with Dr Angus Cameron, Reader in Cell Signalling and Tumour Cell Biology, Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University London, Dr Otto Morris, Senior Biological Data Scientist at Exscientia, and Professor Pedro Cutillas, Professor of Cell Signalling and Proteomics, QMUL, Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University London.

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

Cancer: Repurposing drugs as new treatments for breast cancer

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer, with over 1 million new cases diagnosed worldwide each year. For some types of BC, hormonal treatments have been very effective but one particular BC subtype, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), is highly aggressive and lacks a targeted therapy. Read more

Cancer: Inhibiting cell metabolism to enhance tumour cell death

All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more

Tissue Regeneration and Cancer MSc Research Programme

The Tissue Regeneration and Cancer MSc Research Programme at the University of Glasgow, will deliver high quality research, training and mentorship to excellent and ambitious students interested in cancer research, including- but not limited to- its intersection with stem cell biology, immunity, metabolism, development, regenerative biology, and behavioural science. Read more

Cancer Epigenetics project

Broad Project Summary: Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Epigenetic changes are now recognised as a hallmark feature of cancer, but our understanding of factors that are responsible for tumour spread still remains limited. Read more
