Some brain cancers cannot be surgically removed, and many potent therapeutics cannot reach the tumour site. This project aims to overcome these hurdles by utilizing a recently developed multifunctional nanoparticle drug delivery system that can be injected directly into tumours. Read more
We are seeking a highly motivated student with a strong background in physics or engineering and an interest in cancer physiology and neuroscience. Read more
This PhD project is best suited for a student with a background in Physics or Engineering wishing to apply their quantitative skills to improve the understanding of the diseased brain. Read more
The use and benefits of gadolinium-based contrast agents in the diagnosis and assessment of pathologies such as brain tumours are well established. Read more
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumour, with a dismal median survival. The tumour microenvironment (TME) is the microscopic-scale environment of tissue in which a tumour evolves and is a key component that controls GBM aggressiveness. Read more
This is a unique opportunity for a candidate with a background in psychology to work on the important problem of quality of life after childhood cancer. Read more
Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumour with a dismal prognosis, presents a significant challenge due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy. Read more
Paediatric-type diffuse high grade glioma (PDHGG) is a leading cause of tumour-related death in children and young adults, and novel therapeutic approaches are urgently needed (1). Read more
The invasive behaviour of glioblastomas (the commonest, most malignant primary brain tumour) means that local treatments won’t cure these tumours, and this diffuse invasion means that there is a disruption of normal cognitive structures. Read more
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
Metastasis, the spread of cancer to secondary organs, accounts for approximately 90% of cancer-related deaths mainly due to resistance to conventional treatments and organ failure. Read more
Commercial partner: PeptiMatrix. Extracellular matrix (ECM) constitutes around 20% of the adult brain volume and plays an important role in brain function and disease. Read more
Overview. Professor Masashi Narita wishes to recruit a student to work on the project entitled. "Mapping cellular trajectories in the senescence spectrum". Read more
Overview. Dr Raza Ali wishes to recruit a student to work on the project entitled. "Multi-modal spatial data integration to predict breast cancer treatment response". Read more
