A new imaging approach to unravel the mysteries of extracellular vesicle journey through tissues: merging chemistry, microscopy, and molecular biology to track information flow at nanoscale (C3.5-DEN-Lambert)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are complex cell-derived nano-vesicular structures that drive a multitude of biological responses. EVs carry a range of bioactive molecules, including DNA, RNA, proteins, glycans and metabolites, which generate responses in surrounding cells to maintain tissue function. 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
Next generation nano-photonic biosensors for early diagnosis of cancers
Project ID. DTC_10. Theme: Health Innovation. One of the 21st century's main challenges is human health. For healthy ageing and improved patient outcomes we need to detect cancer earlier to provide the best opportunity for successful treatment options. Read more
Reading, writing and molecular switching in the DNA-damage response
The proposed project revolves around a fascinating and unique class of regulatory proteins that seem to function as molecular shape-shifters, able to adopt a number of distinct structural forms each tailored to functionally specific downstream signalling processes. Read more

Last chance to apply
Population genetic analysis based on the polymorphisms mediated by retrotransposons in the human genomes for cancer risk prediction (RDF25/HLS/APP/SHUKLA)
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and early detection is crucial for effective treatment. Despite various screening programs, many cancers are not caught early enough when curative treatments can be employed. Read more
Funded PhD - Immune-responsive 3D-bioprinted leukaemia-bone marrow organoids to target cancer dormancy and treatment resistance
Background: . Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the commonest childhood cancer, and T-cell ALL (T-ALL) is a highly aggressive disease. Read more
GEMS Topic: Harnessing Vibrational Spectroscopy and Machine Learning for Early Cancer Detection via Extracellular Vesicle Profiling
This project explores the use of vibrational spectroscopy, coupled with machine learning, to enhance early cancer detection. Cancer patient biofluids are rich in extracellular vesicles (EVs), which carry complex biomarkers. Read more
GEMS Topic: Nanoparticle-Mediated siRNA Delivery Targeting Novel Molecular Pathways for Immune Modulation and Drug Sensitivity in Colon Cancer
This project will identify the genes regulating immune evasion in colon cancer. Using a nanoparticle delivery system, the siRNA targeting the specific gene will be delivered. Read more
