Pathology (cancer studies) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 15 Pathology (cancer studies) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

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

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

NIHR Leeds BRC: Multimodal predictive modelling of outcome in patients with gastrointestinal cancer

Worldwide, cancer of the upper (oesophagus, stomach) and lower gastrointestinal (colon and rectum) tract is newly diagnosed in 3.6 million patients every year and 2.2 million patients die from this disease every year. Read more

An investigation on the association of high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types with colonic adenomata and adenocarcinomas: a UK population based study

This PhD studentship invites application for a study “investigating the association between high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types and colonic adenomata and adenocarcinomas in a UK population”.  Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an important public health problem worldwide occupying most frequent causes of cancer-related mortality.

Identifying secreted biomarkers in brain cancer

Stage IV brain cancer or glioblastoma (GBM) poses a major challenge with only 5 FDA approved chemotherapeutic drugs available for treatment. Read more

Molecular mechanisms of pacemaker (sinus node) dysfunction in ageing, heart failure and athletes

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
The heart’s pacemaker, the sinus node, initiates the action potential that causes the heart to beat, and the atrioventricular node conducts the action potential from the atria to the ventricles, the pumping chambers of the heart. Read more

Characterisation of adrenoceptor and muscarinic receptor subtypes coupled to potassium channels in chondrocytes from bovine cartilage

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
Several outward potassium currents have been identified in bovine chondrocytes (review Mobasheri et al. 2012). These include ATP-sensitive and a Calcium-activated potassium currents (Sanches & Lopez-Zapata, 2011). Read more

Investigation of the extracellular matrix as a regulator of Parkinson’s progression

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
Parkinson’s is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting around 1 in 20 people aged over 65. In the UK, the number of affected people is set to rise by 50% over the next 50 years due to ageing populations. Read more
