Probing Death Decisions from Morphogen Gradient Fields

Morphogen gradient scaling is one of the hottest fields in developmental biology at the moment. Scaling is fundamental, explaining how the machinery that controls pattern formation in development (the morphogens) can adapt, so that organs of different sizes show morphological structures which are proportioned.

Genomic actions of RAR and VDR ligands

The Doctoral Candidate (DC) will determine whether the combination of RARγ antagonist and VDR agonist is suitable as a differentiation therapy against acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Read more

Sensitizing AML cells to RAR and VDR ligands (vitamin A and D derivatives) to prevent leukaemia relapse

The doctoral candidate (DC) will perform basic research on leukaemia cell biology in vitro and in vivo at the Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. Read more

Using single cell transcriptomic and blood proteomic data to understand how pancreatic cancer causes diabetes and to find ways to detect the cancer earlier

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest of the common cancers. Five-year survival remains low at 12%. Sadly for 80% of patients, by the time their cancer is diagnosed it has spread to distant organs making them ineligible for potentially curative surgery. Read more

Investigating local invasion in primary and secondary brain tumours

Brain tumours are highly invasive and carry a poor prognosis. Secondary brain tumours or brain metastases (BM) are the most common tumours found in the brain affecting up to one third of patients with solid organ cancer. Read more

Biophysical explorations of neural crest cell behaviours in development and cancer

Neural crest cells are highly migratory. These cells travel throughout the developing embryo, eventually contributing to most organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system, pigment cells and craniofacial skeleton. Read more

Discovery of cancer antigens that are epigenetically-regulated as biomarkers and vaccine candidates

We are seeking a graduate who is passionate about contributing to cancer research and who has a background in immunology or epigenetics and a degree at least at the upper second-class honours level. Read more
