The Xu lab at Georgia State University - Fully funded position available
The Xu lab focuses on Nanobodies. Nanobodies are antigen-binding entities derived from the heavy chain-only antibodies of camelid animals, and they retain full antigen specificity at a very small size (13 kDa). Read more
Efficient design of high-throughput molecular studies.
A typical experiment might consist of taking one sample from each of 100 patients, measuring many molecular properties, and then performing an analysis. Read more
Topics arising from the UK Prostate ICGC (International Cancer Genome Consortium) project.
The UK Prostate ICGC project has generated many data on a cohort of men with the prostate cancer that have the following notable features. Read more
Improved survival analyses in molecular cancer studies
Improved survival (whether this is literal survival, time to a change in symptoms, or time to disease progression) is a key outcome in cancer research. Read more
Investigating the Disruption of Invading Breast Cancer Cells to the Regenerative Capacity of Bone Cells in a Tissue Engineered Tumour Microenvironment
Metastasis in breast cancer reduces five-year survival rates in the UK from 99% to 15%[1]. One of the most common sites for tumour metastasis is bone, affecting approximately 70% of patients with over 24,000 in the UK alone[1]. Read more
Regulation of apoptosis-induced compensatory cell proliferation and its implications for cancer and tissue regeneration
In multi-cellular organisms, coordinated cell death (e.g. apoptosis) and cell replacement is critical for tissue recovery in response to stress or damage. Read more

Image-based profiling of circulating tumor cells for rapid on-chip drug assays
Image based profiling is prevalent using clinical imaging modalities such as MRI, CT and PET. Sophisticated AI techniques to aid in diagnostics have arisen owing to the rich high-dimensional data present within images that is difficult or not possible to detect with human perception. Read more

Design of advanced therapeutics against metastasis
Two key challenges in developing effective treatments for cancer are obtaining potent toxicity against cancer cells while sparing normal tissue, and the evolution of cancer cells leading to resistance and metastasis (the cause of death in many cancers). Read more

Modelling the dynamics of T-cell evolution in cancer
The adaptive immune system, especially T cells, plays a central role in cancer evolution. Reawakening the immune system with immunotherapy can be remarkably effective at treating cancer. Read more
Fibre laser based mid infrared sources and their applications
Supervisory Team. Dr Lin Xu, Prof David Richardson. Project Description. Read more
High-performance ultrafast fibre lasers for biomedical applications
Supervisory Team. Dr Lin Xu, Prof David Richardson. Ultrafast lasers providing femtosecond pulses are enabling a rapidly increasing range of applications in science and industry, including physics, chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials processing. Read more
P8 - New approaches to identify and characterise vulnerabilities in DMG
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain, and BGI, China, are recruiting students to join the CRG-BGI Joint… Read more
Developing a small molecule for TLS inhibition
Our research is focused on the role of MAD2L2 in mitosis and transleasion synthesis (TLS). TLS inhibition is a new strategy in cancer treatment to improve the sensitivity to DNA damaging-chemotherapy. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Dynamics of the peri-nuclear actomyosin network for correct chromosome positioning in early mitosis
To maintain genetic integrity, human cells must inherit the whole set of chromosomes without any loss or excess when the cell division takes place. Read more
Cell state plasticity in adult glioblastoma
Our laboratory focuses on studying epigenetic influences on evolutionary processes in high-grade gliomas at multiple levels. Read more
