Cancer Research Wales Fully Funded 3-year PhD Studentship: Exploiting Synthetic Lethality for Cancer Treatment: Improving the Activity and Specificity of Novel MRE11 Inhibitors Bangor University Qualification Type: PhD Location: Cardiff Funding amount: £19,237 per annum for 3 years Hours: Full Time Research Project Overview: The DNA repair protein MRE11 is often overexpressed in cancer cells, making it essential for their survival and proliferation. We have identified 18 novel compounds that inhibit MRE11, showing potential to treat various cancers. The aim of this project is to use a multidisciplinary approach involving (bio)chemistry, computer aided drug design, cell biology and genetics to develop more potent MRE11 inhibitors and evaluate their efficacy in diverse cancer cell lines. #applynow Please email your application to [email protected] * #hiring!
