Project Description
The overall hypothesis of the proposed study is that there is a bi-directional relationship between macrophages and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells promoting tumourigenesis that can be modelled
in vitro
. We propose that the presence of M2 like macrophages in a reconstituted tumour microenvironment can influence the invasive behaviour of OSCC cell lines and invasive OSCC cells influence the phenotype of macrophages.
Eligibility
Applicants should have a first or upper second class honours degree in an appropriate subject or a relevant Masters qualification. If your first language is not English, you will need to meet the minimum English requirements for the programme, academic IELTS score of 6.5 (with no less than 6.0 in each component test area) or equivalent.
The studentship is supported for 3 years and includes full Home tuition fees plus a stipend of £17,668 per annum (2022/23 rate).  The studentship will only fully fund those applicants who are eligible for Home fees with relevant qualifications.  Applicants normally required to cover International fees will have to cover the difference between the Home and the International tuition fee rates (approximately £12,697 per annum 2022/23 rate). The studentship is supported for three years of the four-year registration period. The fourth year is a self-funded ‘writing-up’ year.
