Swansea University Scholarship 2027 Details

Swansea University is offering a fully funded international PhD studentship investigating next-generation nanobody engineering for precision targeting in ovarian cancer. Led by Professor Deya Gonzalez (Swansea University).

This project will investigate whether engineered nanobodies can overcome the biological and physical barriers that currently limit antibody-based therapies in solid tumours.

During the first 15 months at Swansea University, the successful candidate will identify and validate clinically relevant ovarian cancer surface antigens using patient-derived clinical samples, tumour slices, advanced three-dimensional tumour models and integrated genomic analyses.

The remaining 21 months at Houston Methodist Hospital will focus on nanobody discovery and engineering, functional epitope mapping, tumour–immune interactions, and evaluation of novel nanobody-based imaging and therapeutic strategies in immune-competent preclinical ovarian cancer models.

This unique international PhD provides exceptional training spanning translational oncology, molecular biology, cancer immunology, protein engineering, advanced therapeutics, genomics, imaging and preclinical cancer models.
