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

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
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
 Supervisors: Dr S Lewis, Prof R Martin, Dr R Pulsford, Prof R Jago, Dr FB Bray

Identifying DNA methylation signatures of prostate cancer progression and mortality among patients with clinically confirmed, localised disease at baseline in a large prospective clinical trial

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of male mortality, with 336,000 deaths worldwide each year (1). Although most PCa cases are indolent, slow-growing, and tend not to progress, a subset of PCa cases are more aggressive and will progress to metastases, treatment resistance and death. Read more

Linking multivariable Mendelian randomization with lifecourse epidemiology: developing the methodology and application to a contemporary exemplar

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to estimate the causal effect of an exposure on an outcome, free from bias due to unobserved confounding. Read more

Causal risk factors and biological mechanisms for colorectal cancer risk

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Diet and lifestyle are likely to play an important role in colorectal cancer risk; obesity, low levels of physical activity, red and process meat consumption and low intake of dietary fibre have all been shown to predict colorectal cancer risk. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr S Lewis, Dr KT Tsilidis
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Identifying metabolic drivers of cancer development

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Growing evidence suggests that cell extrinsic factors are key in modulating tumor progression. Metabolites are small molecules that act as sources of fuel and building blocks essential for cells and tissues when present at normal levels. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr E Vincent, Dr CB Bull, Prof N Timpson
