Towards the development of an effective vaccine for advanced prostate cancer

Nottingham Trent University School of Science & Technology

Prostate cancer is the second most frequent cancer in men. Patients with a localised disease are treated with local therapies such as prostatectomy or radiation therapy, whereas patients with metastatic disease are treated with androgen deprivation therapies (ADT). Read more

Cellular mechanisms of equal chromosome segregation and genome stability

University of Southampton School of Biological Sciences

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

Supervisor: Assoc Prof W.Y.K.Y. Yuen

Molecular mechanism of vimentin induced epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in cancer cells

Queen Mary University of London Institute of Dentistry

Background. Most cancers are epithelial in origin and arise from a single progenitor cell, similar to an embryo, to become a clone of cells. Read more

Possible role of mutant vimentin in cancer progression and metastasis

Queen Mary University of London Institute of Dentistry

Background. This project will investigate the role of the cytoskeletal protein vimentin in cancer progression and metastasis using cell and molecular biology approaches. Read more

Transcriptome homeostasis in cellular ageing and cancer

Queen Mary University of London Institute of Dentistry

Project Summary. We have previously established the oncogenic mechanisms of the transcription factor FOXM1 in perturbation of genome stability (1, 2), epigenome (3, 4) and adult progenitor epithelial stem cell proliferation (5). Read more

Transcriptome biomarkers and mechanisms of chemoresistance

Queen Mary University of London Institute of Dentistry

Project Summary. This project aims to identify biomarkers linked to the most potent multimodal anticancer therapy with the least toxicity to counteract hemoresistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Read more
