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.
Application Deadline: 12 October 2025
