Master’s Opportunities in Computational Biology in United Kingdom

🎓 The Early Cancer Institute at the University of Cambridge is advertising the Richard Elphick Studentship , a fully funded PhD opportunity in cancer biology , oncology , cancer prevention , and early detection . The project is titled “Modelling progression risks in Barrett’s oesophagus” and focuses on understanding and predicting which patients with Barrett’s oesophagus are at risk of developing cancer. This is a strong fit for applicants interested in disease risk modelling, translational canc...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom on computational modelling of cell morphology in the spatial organisation of cancer . This funded PhD project with Dr Josh Bull focuses on cancer biology , cell biology , biophysics , mathematics , and computer science . The project aims to develop and extend agent-based models for tumour microenvironment research, with particular interest in how cell morphology influences immune infiltration , tumour invasion , and tissue-...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), London, United Kingdom. This project, “Fuelling proliferation: how transporters control metabolism in development and cancer” , sits at the intersection of cancer biology , cell biology , developmental biology , and molecular biology . It asks how cancers may revert to a stem cell-like state by reactivating developmental metabolic programmes, and whether membrane transporters help control this process. You will investigate h...
