Experimental and computational Cancer PhD: Overcoming osteosarcoma chemoresistance by characterizing and targeting cellular quiescence

University College London UCL Cancer Institute

Cancer is the leading cause of death in children and the second in young adults in England and Wales. Sarcomas, tumours that originate from connective tissues (bone, muscle, fat), account for around 15% of childhood cancers. Read more

The genetic map of human molecular phenotypes

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Genome wide associations studies (GWASs) have discovered many genetic associations with a large range of human traits, but the functional consequences of GWAS signals often remain elusive, as most GWAS signals reside in non-coding genomic regions. Read more

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

More Details

Using nutrigenetic, nutrigenomic and machine learning approaches to investigate the risk of cardiometabolic disease-related traits in ethnically diverse populations.

University of Reading Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences

This PhD project represents an exciting opportunity to develop and conduct research at the forefront of nutritional and genetic epidemiology, contributing to the prediction, prevention, and better understanding of the development of non-communicable diseases such as obesity and diabetes, using datasets from multiple ethnic groups.

An optimal framework for disease risk prediction and stratification for multi-ethnic populations (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Chimusa)

Northumbria University Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

The exceptional polygenicity of human traits makes unravelling mechanisms from disease risk prediction models daunting. The development of polygenic risk scores (PRS) methods, their evaluation and clinical utility have been explored almost in European ancestry Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) data sets.
