  • Dr Giulia Biffi

Supervisor: Dr Giulia Biffi Course start date: 1st October 2027 Project details For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website at https://biffilab.wordpress.com Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a formidable clinical challenge. A major recent advance has been the development of KRAS inhibitors, which have shown considerable promise in clinical trials (1). For decades, KRAS was considered undruggable; however, these new inhibitors represent a potential turning point for patients with PDAC. Despite this progres

Supervisor: Dr Tim Halim Course start date: 1st October 2027 Project details For further information about the research group, please visit our website at https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/halim-group/ The immune system is capable of detecting cancer, which forms the basis of immunotherapy. While immunotherapy has revolutionised cancer treatment in recent years, it remains unclear how exactly the immue system detects and responds to pre-cancereous lesions. Nevertheless, it is known that the activatin (or deactivation) of anti-cancer immune cells involves many different cell-types that
