We seek proposals aligned with our strategic area: “Visualise and localise cancer at microscale.” Push the boundaries of cancer detection at microscale, targeting early-stage diseases, microlesions, and more. We invite PhD project applications using diverse physical, mathematical, or chemical approaches for tracking and imaging microscopic tumour lesions. Whether clinical or preclinical, any medical, surgical imaging, chemical tracking, AI-assisted imaging, or novel technology/methodology is welcome.

Key Requirements:
– Address a cancer challenge aligned with our theme
– Offer novelty, high quality, and feasibility within four years
– Convergence science approach for joint investigator led projects, fostering interdisciplinary training and novel ideas integration between the ICR and Imperial
– Early career researchers with tenure for studentship duration are encouraged to apply.
