The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.

Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (PDN), University of Cambridge, and the new AstraZeneca Discovery Centre at Cambridge. The student will be working on a collaborative project jointly supervised by Prof Hugh Robinson, in the Department of PDN, and Dr. Philipe Mendonça at AstraZeneca and will have the opportunity to work across the two sites. The project is in the emerging field of cancer neuroscience, which is generating great interest and excitement in both academia and industry.

Project abstract

Neuroendocrine (NE) cancers include some of the most aggressively invasive and lethal primary cancers, for example, small-cell lung cancer, neuroblastoma and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, as well as metastatic resistance stages of epithelial cancers such as breast and prostate. Neuroendocrine cancer cells, like neurons, are electrically excitable, generating action potentials, which trigger vesicular secretion. The aim of this project is to understand the mechanisms of this electrical signalling, and how ion channels might be targeted to inhibit the metabolism, proliferation and invasion of these types of cancer cells. By combining state-of-the-art electrophysiological and imaging techniques at AZ and the University of Cambridge, we propose to dissect the roles of different ion channels in controlling the electrical properties of NE cancer cells. We will then use the unique electrophysiological fingerprint of these cells to understand the roles that ion channels may play in oncogenesis and tumour invasiveness. The findings will help identify new treatment strategies for these aggressive NE tumours.

Applications are invited for 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience(PDN)/Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge and the new AstraZeneca Discovery Centre at Cambridge. The student will be working on a collaborative project jointly supervised by Prof Rawlins in PDN/Gurdon and Dr Luigi Aloia at AstraZeneca and will work have opportunity to work across the two sites.

The project, entitled 'A reproducible human lung organoid platform for large scale oncology CRISPR screens' is in the field of human organoid/cancer biology that has generated much excitement in both academia and industry.

Project abstract: Lung cancer is heterogeneous. Variability between-patients, -tumours and within-tumours all affect drug efficacy and resistance. To identify and validate oncology drug targets we need human-relevant models capturing patient heterogeneity. Human lung organoids show promise for modelling the tumour micro-environment. However, cancer organoids do not grow reliably. We will distinguish between real-life heterogeneity which affects disease progression and technical artefact. We hypothesize that effects of cancer driver mutations are conserved across different genetic backgrounds (i.e. organoid variability represents real-life cancer heterogeneity) and will test this using genetic engineering to develop human lung adenocarcinoma from multiple normal biological donors. This will result in the development of tractable cellular models to study lung cancer development and progression and determine key mechanisms driving it in a reproducible and scalable fashion.

Applications are invited for 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Pharmacology, University of Cambridge and the new AstraZeneca Discovery Centre at Cambridge conducting research into how the microbiome contributes to chronic pain. The project will be jointly supervised by Dr David Bulmer (Cambridge) and Dr Fraser Welsh (AstraZeneca) and will provide the student with an opportunity to work across both sites, in addition to the broader multidisciplinary team of clinicians and academics investigating the microbiome and pain at the University and Medical School.

We have recently identified a pathogenic microbial signature which markedly deviates from household controls in people with chronic abdominal pain that can be corrected by dietary intervention. Metagenomic and metabolomic analysis supports a causative role for bacterial metabolites, which we will seek to evaluate in this studentship using functional assays of pain signalling, neuroepithelial and immune cell function, in conventional, and germ-free animals to recapitulate the dysbiotic microbial phenotype.

This PhD builds on a body of translational work from the Bulmer lab (Bautzova et al (2018) Sci Signal. 11(561); Higham et al (2024) Pain 165 (7): 1592-1604) and will utilise ex-vivo electrophysiological studies and Ca2+ imaging from mouse and human nociceptors.

Applicants must have or expect to obtain at least an upper 2nd class honours science degree (or equivalent), be highly motivated, capable of developing their own ideas, and keen to interact effectively with other lab members.

This position is open to UK citizens or overseas students who meet the UK residency requirements (home fees) or are able to augment the funds to cover the extra costs associated with international student fees through scholarships or funding schemes. Students will not be allowed to supplement fees via self funding.

The studentship comes with a stipend of £21,500 per annum and covers the University Composition Fee at the home student rate with effect from 1 October 2025.
