11. Characterization of biological nanoparticles using evanescent field sensing
Abstract : In light of the increasingly realized importance of nanoparticle-based biological processes, in biology as well as in technological applications, there is a need of analysis methods capable of accurately quantifying different characteristics and processes involving these elusive entities. The aim of this thesis is the development and utilization of surface-based bioanalytical sensing methods for quantitative characterization of biological nanoparticles, most of which being based on surface-confined evanescent-field illumination.

12. PROBING SECRETORY VESICLES AND LIPOSOME MODEL SYSTEMS USING NANOSCALE ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND MASS SPECTROMETRY
Abstract : Cellular communication is based on the process of exocytosis, regulated release of chemical messengers into the extracellular space. These messengers, neurotransmitters, are packed into vesicles that during exocytosis fuse with the plasma membrane and release their content. READ MORE

13. Protein and lipid interactions within the respiratory chain : Studies using membrane-mimetic systems
Abstract : Energy conversion from nutrients to ATP is a vital process in cells. The process, called oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is performed by a combination of membrane-bound proteins. These proteins have been studied in great detail in the past, however much is still unknown about how they interact with each other. READ MORE

14. Imaging of lipids and proteins in Alzheimer's disease using Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the formation of senile plaques. These plaques, which consist of aggregations of a peptide called amyloid-β, are deposited in-between the nerve cells in the brain, where they disrupt the signaling processes. READ MORE

15. Development of novel bioanalytical assays with single-molecule readout for biomarker detection and drug candidate characterization
Abstract : Bioanalytical assays with single-molecule readout for studying molecular interactions have in the past decades received increasing attention. The high sensitivity often offered by this readout scheme has for example enabled ultra-sensitive analyte detection, having important implications for monitoring early disease progression and the effects of drug treatment.
