This fully funded PhD studentship is based at the CRUK Scotland Centre and the University of Glasgow , with research focused on colorectal cancer biology, tumour-cell plasticity and metastasis. The project, titled “Restraining colorectal cancer cell plasticity by driving tumour cells towards a stable, terminally differentiated state,” builds on the research team’s findings that loss of ATRX drives multilineage plasticity and metastatic behaviour. The doctoral researcher will investigate how canc...

Spain

This PhD project develops new immunotherapeutic tools for cancers with poor prognosis, with a focus on next-generation cellular immunotherapy and CAR T-cell platforms. The research will include the development of lentiviral vectors for TRUCKs whose expression is regulated by the tumor microenvironment, as well as studies of immune-synapse modulation to improve the effector function and persistence of CAR T cells. The project addresses refractory or relapsed B-cell malignancies, including aggress...

About this position

The Maus Lab at the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology investigates how aging influences cancer development and progression. This PhD project addresses a fundamental question in cancer biology: although precancerous cells are common, why do only some individuals develop cancer?

The research will examine how aging gives precancerous cells a competitive advantage and how this altered cellular competition may promote colorectal cancer. The project aims to identify mechanisms through which aging reshapes the behavior and fitness of abnormal cells, potentially revealing ways to remove their advantage and reduce cancer risk.

By joining the Maus Lab, the PhD researcher will contribute to research at the intersection of aging biology, precancerous cell dynamics, colorectal cancer, and oncology. The group is part of VHIO, whose research focuses on understanding how aging causes cancer and translating these insights into improved cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
