1. Microphase Separated Cation Conducting Polymers : Design, Synthesis, and Properties
Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis and properties of five different cation conducting polymer systems. These systems were designed so that the polymers would be able to microphase separate into distinct phases with one phase for mechanical strength and one for ionic conductivity. READ MORE

2. Biologically active terpenoids from Bolivian medicinal plants
Abstract : Pseudo-guaianolides represent a large group of sesquiterpene lactones exhibiting significant cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities. Their biological activities are due to a 훼-methylene-훾-lactone unit in their chemical structure, which reacts with free sulfhydryl groups of free cysteine via a Michael-addition. READ MORE

3. Metabolites of Avena sativa with Blood Cholesterol Lowering Properties
Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are among the most important causes of death in thedeveloped countries. These diseases are partly caused by too high cholesterolconcentrations in the blood. Avena sativa, oat, is the most common spieces of the genus Avena, and produced in huge amounts worldwide. READ MORE

4. Design, Synthesis and Thermodynamic Studies of Galectin Ligands
Abstract : The signaling within and between cells in biology is governed by molecular recognition between natural or synthetic ligands and proteins. This thesis project aimed to investigate the thermodynamic properties of specific interaction between synthetic ligands and galectin proteins. READ MORE

5. Design and Synthesis of Glycomimetics as Selective Galectin Inhibitors
Abstract : In last couple of decades the field of glycobiology has developed rapidly due to the increased understanding of glycans’ abilities to encode biological information, which may have impact on biological event and disease, such as for example tumour growth and inflammation. This development has been accompanied by an increasing focus on drug discovery revolving around a category of carbohydrate-based drugs termed glycomimetics. READ MORE
