Developing a High Throughput 3D All-Human In Vitro Model of in the Brain Microenvironment for Screening Re-Purposed and Re-Formulated Drugs for the Treatment of Glioblastoma

Project Details

Description

Funding for a new postdoctoral researcher to join a small team within the University of Portsmouth Brain Tumour Research Centre who will be responsible for intellectual molecular/genetic input to the project and will learn/undertake a wide age of techniques from within the Centre’s very well-equipped histology, cellular, molecular, and metabolic laboratories and microscope imaging suite.

Through the research programme we hope to establish new models for pre-clinical testing which will enable us to fast track re-purposed and re-formulated agents into clinical trials for GBM as well as provide a more accurate means to establish drug sensitivity in GBM to both nuclear and mitochondrial targeted therapies.
