CRUK Black Leaders in Cancer PhD Scholarship Programme

Fully funded PhD opportunity at Newcastle University in cancer research , focused on how protein methylation helps tumours survive hypoxia . The project asks how oxygen-starved cancer cells adapt and whether those survival mechanisms can be targeted to develop new treatments. The research will concentrate on prostate cancer and triple-negative breast cancer , using CRISPR genetic screening , molecular biology , proteomics , and preclinical cancer models to identify therapeutic vulnerabilities. T...

PhD Studentship at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Pathology on functional effects of dysregulated microRNA-mediated cellular pathways in malignant germ cell tumours . The project, led by Dr Matthew Murray , focuses on cancer biology and translational biomedical research. It builds on prior work targeting over-expressed miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 and replenishing downregulated miRNAs such as let-7 and miR-100-5p/125b-5p in malignant germ cell tumour cell lines. The new students...
