1. Astrocyte metabolism following focal cerebral ischemia
Abstract : Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death. Most often, stroke results from blockage of an artery in the brain leading to tissue infarction within the perfusion territory of the affected vessel. READ MORE

2. The control of growth and metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract : The control of growth is a poorly understood aspect of animal development. This thesis focuses on body size regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans, and in particular, how worms grow to a certain size. In C. elegans, a key regulator of size is the TGFβ homologue DBL-1. READ MORE

4. Glutamate Turnover and Energy Metabolism in Brain Injury : Clinical and Experimental Studies
Abstract : During brain activity neurons release the major excitatory transmitter glutamate, which is taken up by astrocytes and converted to glutamine. Glutamine returns to neurons for re-conversion to glutamate. This glutamate-glutamine cycle is energy demanding. READ MORE

5. Mathematical Modelling of Cerebral Metabolism : From Ion Channels to Metabolic Fluxes
Abstract : The brain is the most metabolically active organ in the human body and therefore rely on a continuous supply of oxygen and glucose. Neuronal stimulation in specific regions of the leads to the firing of action potentials, a process facilitated by voltage-gated ion channels in the neurons’ cell membranes. READ MORE
