Development of brain tumour margin-on-a-chip model for treatment of tumour recurrence
This project aims to engineer an organ-on-chip model that enables the co-culture of healthy neural cells with glioblastoma spheroids on a scale (millimetres) that microsurgical resection can be performed. After micro-resection, the regrowth of the remaining glioblastoma cells in the resection cavity will be monitored over time enabling quantification of recurrence characteristics and potential for screening novel therapeutic delivery.

Molecularly-imprinted conductive polymer nanowire electrodes for the detection of prostate cancer biomarkers
(CSC Studentship only)
This studentship proposes to develop multiplexed biosensor arrays to simultaneously detect multiple PCa markers, each with high sensitivity and specificity from a single patient sample. Utilising high surface area molecularly-imprinted conductive polymer nanowires, protein specific biosensor materials will be synthesised and used to fabricate electrochemical biosensors.
Deadline: 28 January
