21. Redesign of substrate specificity of glutathione transferase and glutathione reductase : Enzyme engineering by directed mutagenesis, phage-display selection and DNA shuffling
Abstract : Human glutathione transferase (GST) A1-1 was expressed in fusion with the phage gene IIIproduct and a library of phage-displayed GST mutants was constructed by randomization of fouractive-site residues. Variant GSTs were isolated by mechanism-based phage display selection, using an immobilized transition-state analog of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction. READ MORE

22. Exploring the bits and pieces of curiosity : an information-theoretic approach to understanding what compels information-seeking
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to investigate the computational mechanisms that drive curiosity, the motivational state for learning for its own sake. Curiosity is operationalized as information-seeking behaviors and self-reported curiosity. READ MORE

23. Semi-mechanistic models of glucose homeostasis and disease progression in type 2 diabetes
Abstract : Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by consistently high blood glucose, resulting from a combination of insulin resistance and reduced capacity of β-cells to secret insulin. While the exact causes of T2DM is yet unknown, obesity is known to be a major risk factor as well as co-morbidity for T2DM. READ MORE

24. Structure and host-receptor recognition studies of Gram-negative bacterial fimbriae assembled via the chaperone/Usher Pathway
Abstract : Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), and Yersinia enterocolitica (YE) are the principle etiological agents of acute and persistent diarrhea worldwide including resource-poor and industrialized regions. READ MORE

25. Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Modeling of Antibiotics and Bacterial Drug Resistance
Abstract : Exposure to antibiotics is an important factor influencing the development of bacterial resistance. In an era where very few new antibiotics are being developed, a strategy for the development of optimal dosing regimen and combination treatment that reduces the rate of resistance development and overcome existing resistance is of utmost importance.
