A new approach to understanding the role of tumour microenvironment in anticancer drug resistance
St George’s, University of London
MRC London Intercollegiate Doctoral Training Partnership Studentships
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer with the most rapidly growing incidence in the UK. In melanoma, like in many other cancers, the tumour microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in driving anticancer drug resistance. Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Engineering a novel fluidised bed bioreactor for manufacture of cell-derived therapeutics
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
(Bicentenary) Understanding congenital heart disease using single cell genomics and machine learning
This interdisciplinary PhD project will combine research on human pluripotent stem cell biology, single cell genomics and computational biology to deliver deep new insight into the mechanisms of human cardiac cell development and congenital heart disease (CHD). Read more
(Bicentenary) Mechanical regulation of cell cycle in tissues: are organelles tension sensing hubs?
The tissues of our bodies are constantly being pushed and pulled and must respond appropriately to these forces to maintain normal tissue function. Read more
EastBio: Investigating how cell size impacts proteome homoeostasis and cellular signaling.
One of the most obvious differences between cells of different type is their size. Even within a given cell type, there are constant variations in size and, of course, a single proliferating cell will double in size every cell cycle. Read more
EastBio: The effects of circadian rhythms in potassium concentration on cell biology.
Circadian rhythms are a fundamental feature of life, found in all eukaryotes. In our own bodies, plants, and fungi, every cell keeps time by itself. Read more
Investigating how cell size impacts proteome homoeostasis and cellular signalling
One of the most obvious differences between cells of different type is their size. Even within a given cell type, there are constant variations in size and, of course, a single proliferating cell will double in size every cell cycle. Read more
Modelling synergistic interactions between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a.k.a. “forever chemicals”, with cell painting and machine learning
We are all exposed to a myriad of chemicals through the environment, throughout the day. By air, water, and food, everyone is continuously exposed to hundreds of chemicals at low levels. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding how diabetes affects retinal cell crosstalk
We are inviting applications for a PhD research project to investigate how diabetes impacts communication between different cell types in the retina, which will enable to unlock new treatments for diabetic eye disease. Read more
MSc by Research: Investigation of coordination of cell divisions during early embryonic development
Gastrulation is an essential process in early development, during which the forming ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm take up their correct positions in the embryo. Read more
Evaluating the impact of chemically reactive metabolites in premature ageing
While most biological molecules are not that chemically reactive, some are very reactive and can significantly affect our health. Read more
Decoding Heart Responses to Ischemia: Pathway to Breakthrough Therapies
Despite advances in stem cell research, there is still no effective treatment to regenerate the infarcted myocardium. Read more
(Bicentenary) Using single-cell Multiomics to unravel cell fate decisions during early embryo development
The early developing embryo is a complex dynamic environment. During development, individual cells within the embryo must respond appropriately to a multitude of ‘signals’ to yield distinct cell types, e.g., neurons, muscle cells and bone to form our body’s organs and structures e.g., brain, heart, and skeleton.

Mathematical Modelling of Cell Shape and Localised Cell growth.
The correct cell shape is essential for proper cell function. For example, in the brain signalling between neurons is received by dendritic spines, Dendritic spines are protrusions on the surface of the neuron, they come in different shapes, the most well-known being mushroom shaped. Read more
(Bicentenary) Dynamic cell decisions: Microfluidic approaches to understand how oscillations in transcription factors regulate nervous system development
During nervous system development, neural stem cells must balance decisions between proliferation to allow growth, and differentiation, to generate functional neurons. Read more
