The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research (PGJCCR) Summer Research Programme provides an excellent opportunity for promising young students to undertake a short research project for eight weeks over the summer period.

Our research placements run from approximately June to August 2022 with a stipend of £200 per week. Students are expected to be available for the full eight weeks and holidays should be planned outside of this period.

Students will undertake a laboratory based project which will include a short report and poster presentation. We offer projects in the following areas:

• Breast / ovarian cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Blood cancer (leukaemia / lymphoma / myeloma)
• GI cancer
• Radiobiology
• Stratified Medicine
• Medicinal Chemistry
• Molecular Pathology
• Bioinformatics
