Overview

On the Radiobiology and Radiotherapy programme from University of Liverpool you will explore the application of molecular and/or computational approaches to the study of cancer mechanisms and personalised treatment strategies that impact upon medicine and ultimately patient outcomes.

Key facts:

Aspects of research where the focus of your PhD could align with the research interests and expertise of our academic staff include:

Cellular responses to DNA damage induced by radiation, with the aim of understanding the processes that lead to cancer development and constitute potential therapeutic targets

Clinical studies conducted with the intent to improve radiation therapy by improving models and developing more effective treatment protocols

Investigations in humans and human materials which examine the radiation responses of cells and tissues. The aim would be to better understand the biology of disease and provide the scientific foundation for the development of new or improved therapies for human disease

Translational research, taking advantage of new and on-going clinical trials in cancer, developing novel predictive and prognostic biomarkers, and exploring modifications of existing therapies

Development of preclinical models of cancer and assessing response to therapies using non-invasive imaging technologies

Using artificial intelligence in a multi-modal approach to predict responses to radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer.
