Project Description
Pancreatic cancer is one of the main research areas of expertise of Professor Maraveyas and his team. This is an exciting opportunity to work on molecular pathways in pancreatic tissue that reflect the early changes during carcinogenesis and translate findings from out in silico and in vitro studies of molecular mechanisms of perineural invasion on pancreatic cancer.

TRANSFORM: Reducing Inequalities in Cancer Outcomes in Yorkshire: Realising our potential for innovation in Diagnosis, Patient Management, Survivorship and Palliative Care Research Sep 1, 2017 - Dec 31, 2026
The death rate is higher in Yorkshire than the rest of England resulting in about 200 extra deaths each year of which more than half are in Hull. There are other significant cancer outcome inequalities between different groups; for example poorer pe...

Can prevention of the activation of PAR2 prevent the release of procoagulant microvesicles from cancer cells, reduce the risk of VTE and contain the deterioration of the vasculature? Jul 1, 2015 - Jun 30, 2020
The study aims to demonstrate the indirect effect of Apixaban on suppressing the release of pro-inflammatory, pro-coagulant tissue factor-containing microvesicles, by inhibiting factor Xa and preventing the activation of PAR2. The study also demonstr...

Differentiating the malignant potential of pancreatic cysts Oct 1, 2017 - Dec 31, 2022
The effective diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is often quite challenging, due to a lack of disease-specific symptoms, resulting in the majority of patients presenting with advanced disease, with an associated dismal prognosis. Earlier detection of pan...
