PhD Studentships in the Cell Biology of Cancer
As a world-leading cancer research centre, the Beatson Institute supports cutting edge work into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development. We provide an outstanding research environment, underpinned by state-of-the-art core services and advanced technologies with special emphasis on imaging, metabolomics and in vivo models.
We are looking for students with a very good degree in a Life Sciences subject and an aptitude for experimental work, who are also highly committed to pursuing a PhD and a career in cancer research. The Beatson has an excellent reputation and success record in training its graduate students. Students, whilst being trained at the Institute working within our research groups, will matriculate with the University of Glasgow.

Bioengineered lung models will be generated to recapitulate key aspects of organ biology including respiratory cyclic stretch; we will develop a lung platform suitable for medium to high throughput testing. Bioengineered lung models will be cultured with patient-derived colorectal or pancreatic cancer cells to recapitulate the lung metastatic niche and identify the therapeutic vulnerabilities of colorectal and pancreatic tumours that have spread to the lung.
For informal enquiries or further details on the project, please email Dr Leo Carlin ( leo.carlin@glasgow.ac.uk).
