16. Molecular steps towards improving prognosis in ovarian cancer
Abstract : Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal of gynecological cancers, and cure rates have improved very little in the last 30 years. The most common histological subtypes are serous, endometrioid, clear cell and mucinous EOC. To date, all EOC have been treated as one entity. READ MORE

17. The role of Notch signaling in cancer and metastasis
Abstract : The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionary conserved cell-to-cell communication pathway that regulates many important aspects in the development and tissue homeostasis of multicellular animals. It operates in a wide range of cellular contexts and dysregulated Notch signaling has been linked to a number of diseases, including cancer. READ MORE

18. Role of GPS2 in epigenome alterations linked to metaflammation
Abstract : Current evidence suggests that transcriptional and epigenomic reprogramming events, triggered by transcription factors and chromatin-modifying co-regulators, are of central importance for disease development. G-protein pathway suppressor 2 (GPS2) is a key component of the HDAC3 co-repressor complex that has been earlier implicated in cholesterol homeostasis and anti-inflammatory crosstalk. READ MORE

19. Direct Conversion of Human Fibroblasts to Induced Neurons
Abstract : During direct cellular reprogramming, forced expression of key transcription factors (TFs) directly converts one terminally differentiated cell type into that of another fate, exemplified in this theses by the conversion of fibroblasts into functional induced neurons (iNs). Direct conversion of mouse fibroblasts to functional neurons was established in 2010, and the starting point of my doctoral thesis was the aim to transfer iN-technology to human cells and to explore the potential of this technique in regards to generate subtype-specific neurons as well as to use these cells for transplantation studies.

20. Exploring Direct Conversion of Human Glia into Therapeutic Neurons
Abstract : Direct neuronal reprogramming of a somatic cell into therapeutic neurons, without a transient pluripotent state, provides new promise for the large number of individuals afflicted by neurodegenerative diseases or brain injury. This approach could be potentially applied directly in the brain by targeting resident cells as a source of new neurons. READ MORE
