17. Development and Evaluation of Lipodisks Intended for Use as Biomimetic Membranes and Drug Carriers
Abstract : Polyethylene glycol-stabilized lipodisks have emerged as a novel type of lipid-based nanoparticles with high potential as both drug carriers and biomimetic membranes. In this thesis we assess both of these applications, and show how the properties of the lipodisks can be further developed and optimized. READ MORE

20. Microbiological Surveillance in Primary Health Care : New Aspects of Antimicrobial Resistance and Molecular Epidemiology in an Ageing Population
Abstract : BackgroundThe inexorable rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) interferes with the goals of health care services around the world, given how critical the antibacterials are in making infections treatable and surgical procedures doable. Nursing homes residents have been identified as a reservoir for AMR, possibly due to the combination of being physically and mentally frail, frequently treated with antibacterials, and frequently moved between nursing home and hospital.
