1. Pan-cancer study of transcriptional responses to oncogenic somatic mutations
Abstract : Cancer cells typically carry acquired somatic mutations in key cancer driver genes, which can be identified on the basis of recurrence in cancer cohorts. Such mutations may cause aberrant protein activity and altered gene expression in the nucleus, driving the cell toward a cancerous phenotype. READ MORE

2. The proteasome as a target for cancer therapy
Abstract : The main objective of this PhD thesis was to evaluate the significance of proteasome genes as prognostic markers for different cancer types and identify specific cancer forms that respond to proteasome inhibition. The proteasome (PSM) plays an important role in maintaining cellular proteostasis and degrades the majority of proteins that require breakdown in the cell. READ MORE

3. Network models with applications to genomic data: generalization, validation and uncertainty assessment
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to provide a framework for the estimation and analysis of transcription networks in human cancer. The methods we develop are applied to data collected by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and supporting simulations are based on derived models in order to reflect real data structure. READ MORE
