1. Head and Neck Cancer : Factors Affecting Tumour Growth
Abstract : Head and neck cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide with an estimated annual global incidence of over 500 000 cases. These malignant tumours develop in the mucosal linings of the upper respiratory tract or in the salivary glands. The most common sites are in the oral cavity and larynx. READ MORE

3. InP based Micromechanics for Vertical-Cavity Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems
Abstract : During the past decade, the amount of transmitted data hasbeen boosted due to an increasing use of the World Wide Web(WWW), video and audio transmissions. In the late 90s, thetraditional technology using twisted copper cables was nolonger capable to provide enough transmission capacity for theconstantly increasing data traffic. READ MORE

4. Free-space cavity optomechanical systems on a chip with III-V heterostructures
Abstract : Cavity optomechanics examines the mutual interaction between light and mechanical motion for controlling mechanical resonators down to the quantum regime. A major challenge in the field of cavity optomechanics remains accessing a strong interaction between the light field and mechanics on the level of single quanta. READ MORE

5. Prostate cancer and bone cell interactions : implications for metastatic growth and therapy
Abstract : The skeleton is the most common site of prostate cancer bone metastasis, and at present, there are no curable treatments for these patients. To further understand what stimulates tumor cell growth in the bone microenvironment and to find suitable therapies, reliable model systems are needed. READ MORE
