1. Carboxylic ester hydrolase in acute pancreatitis : a clinical and experimental study
Abstract : Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) is erroneous in up to one third of patients when based on clinical criteria and elevated serum amylase values. Furthermore, according to autopsy reports fatal pancreatitis remains clinically undiagnosed in 22 to 86 % of hospitalised patients. READ MORE

2. Advances and Applications of Antibody Arrays - Proteomic Profiling of Pancreatic Disease
Abstract : Recombinant antibody microarrays have advanced into indispensable tools for large-scale, high-throughput multiplexed serum proteomics. This thesis, based upon five original papers, deals with the development of an in-house designed antibody microarray platform, and its applications for serum profiling of pancreatic disease.

5. Chronic pancreatitis fibrogenesis : the role of TGFB pathway inhibitor Smad7 in the fibrosis development
Abstract : Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by progressive inflammation, acinar atrophy and fibrosis. Transforming growth factor-B signaling (TGFB) is the most potent fibrogenic cytokine known, and its increased expression is a common denominator for fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis. READ MORE
