Sneha Swaroop

Dr. Sneha Swaroop is an Assistant Professor in Cell and Molecular Biology at the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, University of Bradford. She holds a Master’s in Biotechnology and a Ph.D. in Oncology from the Cancer Institute (WIA), India. Her research focuses on cancer stem cells (CSCs), particularly in ovarian cancer, aiming to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop effective cancer treatments. She completed postdoctoral research at the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics (ICT), University of Bradford, supported by the Schlumberger Fellowship.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Oncology, Cancer Institute (WIA), India
• Master’s in Biotechnology

Research interests include CSC characterization using spheroid cultures, embryonic signaling pathways (e.g., hedgehog pathway), biomarker identification via in silico approaches, and evaluating drug candidates targeting CSCs in breast/prostate cancers. Ongoing projects explore CSC roles in tumor angiogenesis and microenvironment interactions.

Professional achievements include the Schlumberger Fellowship and 17 published works (16 peer-reviewed, 1 conference). She mentors early-career scientists and engages in public cancer research outreach. Currently seeking motivated PhD/Postdoctoral researchers for CSC studies at ICT Bradford.

Labs/Teams: Active at the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics, leading interdisciplinary cancer research initiatives.
