6. Experimental and computational investigation of affinity and selectivity factors in CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 mediated metabolism
Abstract : The assessment of ADME properties and metabolic behavior of a drug is central in drug discovery and drug design. The main target for studies of metabolic properties is the Cytochrome P450 (CYP), which is responsible for the metabolism of a majority of drugs on the market and consequently also involved in many drug-drug interactions.

7. Microbial Production of Bio-Based Chemicals: A Biorefinery Perspective
Abstract : A shift from fossil- to renewable biomass feedstock for the emerging bio-based economy requires the development and adoption of new sustainable technologies that are more suited for transformation of biomass components to chemicals, materials and energy. This thesis presents investigations on the development of processes based on industrial biotechnology as a key element for the production of chemicals from agro-/industrial by-products. READ MORE

10. Microbial production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid and poly(3-hydroxypropionate): Investigation of Lactobacillus reuteri propanediol utilization pathway enzymes
Abstract : Concerns regarding environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and climate change have led to a shift within the research community and chemical and energy industry sectors for finding sustainable routes for producing fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, thereby minimizing our dependence on petroleum. The C3-chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid has been identifed as a top candidate for the biobased chemical industry. READ MORE
