Building a toxicological screen to predict drug-induced pulmonary hypertension (RANAA_U23MRC)
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a debilitating, often fatal disease, affecting both children and adults, which is caused by structural changes (vascular remodelling) of pulmonary blood vessels leading to their narrowing and obliteration (PMID:15194174). Read more
Characterization of molecular and cellular mechanisms implicated in evasion of anti-VEGF therapies by human brain tumours
Angiogenesis is a biological process by which new capillaries are formed from pre-existing vessels. It is well established that brain tumour growth depends on angiogenesis. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms that drive breast cancer metastasis to the brain
In recent years our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer development and evolution has improved greatly. However, there is still much to be discovered about the molecular biology that determines the spread (metastasis) of tumours to distant organs. Read more
Development of nano-encapsulated zinc and copper-diethyldithiocarbamate as novel immunomodulatory and cancer stem cell targeting medicine for multiple myeloma treatment
Supervisory Team: Professor Weiguang Wang, Professor Basu Supratik, Dr Vinodh Kannappan. Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common blood cancer. Read more
Defining the role of the ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHc) in promoting chemotherapy resistance in glioblastoma
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
Metabolic reprogramming is a common mechanism by which cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy. Read more
Investigating the impact of photon FLASH radiotherapy on therapeutic index in primary glioblastoma
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
A fully-funded PhD studentship is available within the PGJCCR at Queens University Belfast supported by Brainwaves Northern Ireland. Read more
Exploiting NLRP3-inflammasome signalling in glioblastoma to combat radiotherapy resistance
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
Brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer deaths in children and adults under the age of 40. High-grade Gliob lastoma is treated by surgery followed by chemo/radiotherapy but recurs in the majority of patients and new treatments need to be developed. Read more
MScR - In vivo characterisation of novel risk genes for Alzheimers disease identified by Genome Wide Association Studies
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have identified a number of genes that are significantly associated with the disease (van der Kant et al., 2019). Read more
MScR - Determining the genetic and circadian basis of bipolar disorder using Drosophila
Circadian rhythms and sleep are evolutionarily conserved from fruit flies (Drosophila) and are fundamental as well as vital to biology and health (Jagannath et al., 2017; Menet and Rosbash, 2011). Read more
Towards the development of a novel class of broad-spectrum anti-infective drugs
Through exceptionally strong research collaborations at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine, we have applied innovative thinking to the field of (Minor Groove Binders) MGBs to develop a novel platform for drug discovery with the potential to treat an impressive range of diseases, including bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections.

A computational weight-of-evidence platform to understand critical fish specific biology mediating toxicologically relevant responses to stress.
Applications are invited from PhD candidates to join the Molecular Toxicology group led by. Professor Christer Hogstrand. (King’s College London) on a project in collaboration with. Read more
Can a nutraceutical formulation targeted at the autophagy-lysosomal system improve recovery/regeneration and exercise adaptations in skeletal muscle?
Summary. This project is an exciting new collaboration between Manchester Metropolitan University and Iovate Health Sciences Inc. Read more
A high throughput human vascularised 3D in-vitro model of adipose tissue to replace animal testing in drug development for metabolic dysfunction
Obesity is a rising epidemic and a risk for many comorbid conditions such as type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, and some cancers. Read more
Assessing the impacts of targeting mRNA translation machinery on metabolic fitness and treatment response of glioblastoma cancer cells
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
The current standards of care for glioblastoma are rarely curative, highlighting the urgent need for a better understanding of its biology to enhance the development of innovative therapeutic approaches. . Read more
