Cancer Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

We have 101 Cancer Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

Fully funded PhD studentship in mechanisms of cancer heterogeneity and drug sensitivity

Treatment of cancer with drugs that cause DNA damage often leads to development of the drug tolerance. Recently, we uncovered a novel mechanism of such an adaptation that associates with active generation of hundreds of thousand mutations in chromosomes that prevent drug-triggered DNA damage.

From bench to pre-clinical evaluation: a novel nucleic acid vaccine targeting tumour-associated antigens

Cancer and the long-term toxicities sustained from treatment remain a public health issue for adult and paediatric patients. The spread of tumour cells is believed to account for up to 90% of cancer-related morbidities. Read more

Pharmaceutical process development, optimization and scale-up of plant-based cancer drugs

Project - We are pleased to announce an exciting PhD opportunity within our ground-breaking project dedicated to the optimization of extraction and purification processes of plant-derived molecules, with potential applications in cancer treatment as a collaborative effort with the South Australian immunoGENomics Cancer Institute. Read more

Cellular mechanisms of equal chromosome segregation and genome stability

The PhD project will investigate how chromosomes segregate equally in each cell division through epigenetic regulation of the centromere, and how cells respond in stress conditions to maintain genome instability. Read more

Multimode fibre lasers

Supervisory Team:   Massimiliano Guasoni, Lin Xu, David Richardson. Project description. Multimode optical fibres have recently emerged as a promising breakthrough technology to boost the data transmission speed of the Internet network to unprecedented levels. Read more

High-performance Ultrafast Fibre Lasers for Biomedical Applications

Supervisory Team:   Dr Lin Xu, Dr Yongmin Jung . Project Description. 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

Engineering AI and deep learning approaches for digital pathology and bioimaging

An exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and multidisciplinary group at the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences. You will develop new computational pathology approaches to improve cancer patient treatment and diagnosis. Read more

Investigating molecular drivers of cell invasion

The Wells laboratory focusses on exploring the molecular mechanisms that underlie cell invasion. We have interests in cancer cell invasion and hemopoietic cell invasion. Read more

Estimating the global cancer burden due to low levels of physical activity

Rationale. Around 40% of all cancers are thought to be avoidable by modification of lifestyle factors. Obesity has been found to be a risk factor for several cancers and was estimated to have caused around 3.6% of all new cancers which occurred in 2012. Read more
