1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Investigating radiation-induced modulation of pro-tumorigenic cytokines in meningioma and macrophage co-culture system

Summary of PhD Program:

Surgical resection is the primary treatment for meningiomas, but radiotherapy (RT) is commonly used as first-line therapy in cases of incomplete resection, difficult tumour locations, or recurrence, especially since effective chemotherapy options are lacking.

RT influences cytokine levels within the tumour microenvironment (TME), affecting immune cell signalling in ways that can either promote or inhibit tumour growth. While several clinical and preclinical trials have explored radioimmunotherapy, success has been limited. No immunotherapy for meningiomas has yet gained FDA approval, though early-phase trials targeting IFN-alpha and PD-1 have been conducted.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Understanding the role of transcription factors and associated proteins in neuroendocrine prostate cancer

Summary of PhD Program:

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK and every year thousands of men die from this disease. Prostate cancer was thought to be one type of cancer, namely adenocarcinoma, which was driven by a transcriptional pathway that involves Androgen Receptor (AR) and a pioneer factor called FOXA1 that helps tether AR to the chromatin. Recent new treatments that target AR have forced cancer cells to evade treatment and a newly characterised, but frequent escape mechanism is for cancer cells to lose dependence on AR and to take on features of a neuroendocrine cancer, which is termed Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC).

Application Deadline: 24 October 2025

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Defining the role of the pioneer factor FOXA1 in hormone-dependent cancer

Summary of PhD Program:

FOXA1 is a pioneer factor in Estrogen Receptor positive breast cancer (which constitute 75% of all breast cancer cases) and prostate cancer. FOXA1 can associate with compacted chromatin to facilitate opening of the chromatin and subsequent recruitment of nuclear receptor transcription factors, such as Estrogen Receptor (ER) and Androgen Receptor (AR). The FOXA1/ER pathway in ER+ breast cancer and the FOXA1/AR transcriptional pathway in prostate cancer are the defining and driving mediators in these two major cancer types.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Causality Representation Learning based Language Models

Summary of PhD Program:

Start Up Studentship – In storytelling, characters are the heartbeat of the narrative. Every action, choice, and conflict stems from who the characters are, what they want, and what they fear. A character-centric story places the individual at the centre, focusing not just on the plot, but on the emotional arcs, personal growth, and relationships that drive the narrative forward. However, in current research on large language models, the generated content is typically written in the third person and lacks interactivity.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Genome Bodyguards: Investigating the Cell’s Hidden Repair Team

Summary of PhD Program:

The MMS22L–TONSL complex is a molecular “first responder” that helps cells protect and repair their DNA when it gets damaged during everyday life. In fact, when we use genome-editing to switch off this complex, cells die within one cell division. The problem is that without it, cells struggle to maintain the integrity of their genetic material—a problem at the heart of cancer, ageing, and many inherited diseases. Actually, TONSL overexpression has been linked to a range of cancers, and mutation in this gene cause debilitating symptoms.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Discovery of novel organelle and ubiquitin mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease

Summary of PhD Program:

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder that is now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. Despite much research the disease is incurable and there are no treatments that can slow the disease down. The discovery of genetic mutations in rare familial forms has transformed our understanding of the origins of PD but the function of these genes is poorly understood. Mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) cause autosomal recessive PD. PINK1 is unique amongst all protein kinases due to the presence of a mitochondrial targeting domain that localises it to mitochondria.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Deciphering novel ALS signalling pathways: Biomarker discovery and developing therapeutic strategies

Summary of PhD Program:

Motor neuron disease also referred as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive debilitating disease affecting upper and lower motor neurons with a median survival rate of 2-3 years. Currently, riluzole that extends survival by only 2-3 months, is the only globally approved drug. The well studied ALS genes include TDP-43, an RNA-binding protein localised within nucleus that regulate splicing and RNA metabolism. Loss of function (LoF) of TDP-43 leads nuclear mis-localisation and cytoplasmic aggregation which is a hallmark of 97% of ALS cases and indeed observed in other neurogenerative diseases such as FTD and Alzheimer’s.
