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.

Mendelian Randomisation for mediation analysis with multiple mediators: theory and applications

Rationale. Many of an individual’s traits are observationally associated with their health outcomes. Understanding the relationships between these factors is critical to effective public health intervention. Read more

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

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

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

Causal risk factors and biological mechanisms for colorectal cancer risk

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

Identifying causal pathways to disease using DNA methylation predicted blood traits.

Project Background. Blood cell types have been implicated in pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Genome wide association studies have identified thousands of variants associated with blood trait variation. Read more
