We have 106 Cancer Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK)
(BBSRC NWD) Investigating the mechanism of cell signalling by cytonemes in Drosophila ovarian germline stem cells
Cell signalling is essential to multicellular life and its misregulation causes a vast number of human diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disorders. … Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Cells on a leash: using bio-electrochemistry to pull on a [2]rotaxane thread
Communication across cell membranes is a crucial function that allows cells to respond to chemical messages in their external environment. Read more
Bespoke hydrogels for modelling cancer metastasis to the liver
This project is part of the international “Mac4Me” Doctoral Network, which aims to improve our limited understanding of how to treat metastatic cancer. Read more

T cells under pressure
T cells under pressure. Cytotoxic CD8 T cells (CTLs) are important players in the immune response against cancer. Once activated by antigen, they migrate into tumours, adhere to their target cells and kill them by secreting a cocktail of cytotoxic enzymes. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Harnessing organic catalysts for precision interaction mapping in ubiquitin-like systems
This PhD project focuses on the development and application of innovative tools to achieve high-resolution mapping of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) within ubiquitin-like protein (UBL) systems, addressing a critical gap in understanding cellular signalling. Read more
Investigation of the biological behaviour of feline injection site sarcomas to identify potential biomarkers and develop new therapies
Vaccination is a commonly performed procedure in cats, which is highly successful at protecting the animals against a variety of diseases. Read more

EASTBIO: Mapping the molecular landscape of immune checkpoints to uncover principles of immune regulation
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. Immune checkpoints, essential modulators of immune homeostasis, govern the delicate balance between immune activation and tolerance. Read more

EASTBIO: Fluorinase mediated biocatalytic radiofluorination for the development of radiopharmaceuticals
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. Read more

EASTBIO: Location,location, location: DNA damage sensors which launch protective responses to DNA damage
DNA damage happens at very high frequency in the cells in our bodies – meaning that the instructions for the proper functioning of cells could be altered unless the mistakes are spotted and corrected. Read more

EASTBIO: Hijacking new E3 ubiquitin ligases for targeted degradation of trans-membrane receptors.
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is emerging as an exciting modality for research and therapeutic applications. Molecular glue degraders and proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) hijack the cellular ubiquitin-proteasome (UPS) pathways to target the destruction of mainly intracellular target proteins. Read more
Investigation of loss of Y chromosome and its functional role in driving disease progression and immune evasion in cutaneous and oral squamous cell carcinoma
This CRUK Barts Cancer Bioinformatics Core funded project will commence in September 2025 and has funding for 4 years. This project would suit candidates with a background in genomics and bioinformatics and an interest in cancer genomics, spatial biology, digital pathology and sex disparities in cancer. Read more

EASTBIO: Studying kinetochore dynamics on a nanometre scale to reveal mechanisms ensuring correct chromosome segregation in mitosis
When eukaryotic cells divide, the whole set of chromosomes must be inherited by daughter cells. To ensure this, cells must correctly segregate duplicated chromosomes to opposite spindle poles during mitosis before the cell division. Read more

EASTBIO-The role of SPZ1 in cancers with deregulated Retinoblastoma (pRb) tumor suppressor protein
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
In many cancers the Retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein pRB is either mutated or inhibited. This includes cancers that are caused by persistent infection with high risk Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) such as cervical cancer, which is one of the most frequent cancer in women world-wide. Read more

EASTBIO-Investigating phosphoinositide acyl chain composition as a novel regulator of T cell signalling during ageing
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
Healthy life expectancy is declining in the UK, particularly in deprived areas where the number of years spent in good health can vary by up to 26 years. Read more
