Fully-funded PhD studentship: Single-cell spatial multi-omics for cancer biology

Supervisor: Dr Guiping Wang Department/location: Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute Deadline for application: 16th October 2026 Course start date: 1st October 2027 Project details For further information about the research group, please visit our website at In the Wang Group, we develop and apply interdisciplinary technologies that bridge high-resolution spatial biology and genome-wide discovery. By integrating multi-omic sequencing and quantitative imaging, we work towards a multi-scale understanding of how molecular composition and subcellular organisation shape cell function, plasticity and disease. A central biology focus of the lab is extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) circular DNA elements that drive oncogene amplification, intratumour heterogeneity and therapeutic resistance across many aggressive solid cancers.
