1. Targeted Therapy of Colorectal Cancer : Preclinical Evaluation of a Radiolabelled Antibody
Abstract : Targeted radiotherapy (TRT) of cancer is a promising approach that enables selective treatment of tumour cells, while sparing normal tissue. The humanized monoclonal antibody A33 (huA33) is a potential targeting agent for TRT of colorectal cancer, since its antigen is expressed in more than 95 % of all colorectal carcinomas. READ MORE

3. Genetic Analyses using Rolling Circle or PCR Amplified Padlock Probes
Abstract : Padlock probes are useful in a variety of genetic applications, some of which require that the probes are amplified in order to generate detectable signals. Two general padlock amplification methods, RCA and PCR, are discussed in this thesis. READ MORE

4. The hematopoietic transcription factor RUNX1 : a structural view
Abstract : The malfunction of the transcriptional regulator RUNX1 is the major cause of several variants of acute human leukemias and its normal function is to regulate the development of the blood system in concert with other transcriptional co-regulators. RUNX1 belongs to a conserved family of heterodimeric transcription factors that share a conserved DNA binding domain, the Runt domain (RD), named after the first member of this group – Runt - found in Drosophila melanogaster.

5. Analysis of Complex Genetic Traits in Population Cohorts using High-throughput Genotyping Technology
Abstract : Most human traits and common diseases have a complex genetic makeup involving more than one gene. The work presented in this thesis investigates standing body height and the common disease type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). READ MORE
