We have 18 brain tumour PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Non-European Students
Developing a new therapeutic strategy for brain cancers: getting therapeutics directly to the tumour
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
(MRC DTP) Advanced MRI measurements for characterization and monitoring of brain tumours
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
(MRC DTP) Investigating brain plasticity in response to brain tumours using simultaneous synaptic Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
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
(MRC DTP) Quantitative biomarkers for the assessment of brain tumours
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

Leveraging radiomics to predict glioblastoma multiforme microenvironment and personalise treatment planning
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
(MRC DTP) The impact of hearing impairment on neuropsychological functioning and quality of life following treatment for paediatric brain tumours
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
(MRC DTP CASE) Lipid Nanoparticles with Multivalent and Multi-Targeting Capabilities for the Treatment of Brain Cancer
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
Metabolic MRI of paediatric-type diffuse high grade glioma and its response to therapy in vivo
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
Identification of lung cancer patients at higher risk for brain metastasis using microfluidics
Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 1st January 2025. . Project Description. Read more
Disruption of the Connectome in Glioblastomas
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
MAC4ME: Macrophage metabolism and ageing in the brain metastatic microenvironment of neuroblastoma in response to therapy using 3D in vitro models
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
Triple Negative Breast cancer control of the immune tumour microenvironment in metastasis
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
Develop synthetic extracellular matrix for engineering defined 3D human neural tissue
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
