2. Molecular characterization of the hepatitis C virus core protein
Abstract : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an RNA virus that causes chronic infection, which can lead to hepatocellular carcinomas in humans. Besides liver diseases, the chronic HCV infection causes a broad spectrum of extrahepatic complications such as lymphoproliferative, metabolic and autoimmune disorders. READ MORE

4. Evolutionary Dynamics of Mutation and Gene Transfer in Bacteria
Abstract : The study of bacterial evolution is fundamental for addressing current problems of antibiotic resistance and emerging infectious diseases and lays a solid foundation for successful and rational design in biotechnology and synthetic biology. The main aim of this thesis is to test evolutionary hypotheses, largely based on theoretical considerations and sequence analysis, by designing scenarios in a laboratory setting to obtain experimental data.

5. Antibiotic interactions and selection for resistance in biofilms
Abstract : The challenges posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in treating infections, particularly those associated with biofilms, require a deeper understanding of this lifestyle and its connection to resistance selection. Additionally, gaining insights into drug interactions is crucial for enhancing combination treatment efficacy and mitigating resistance development. READ MORE
