12. Automated quantification of plasma metabolites by NMR to study prostate cancer risk biomarkers
Abstract : Targeted quantitative NMR-based metabolomics can be used to identify disease risk biomarkers. However, NMR-based metabolomics yields complex spectra with signals from many different metabolites. These signals are often located within close proximity and, therefore, signal interferences are observed. READ MORE

13. Metagenomic Characterization of the Gut Microbiome in Cohorts of Elderly
Abstract : Human gut microbiota plays a vital role in maintaining host health. This thesis aims to investigate the gut microbial population and function using next generation sequencing (NGS) data from faecal samples. Paper I examines the influence of sequencing depth and analysis methods in microbiota profiling using NGS whole genome sequencing (WGS) data. READ MORE

15. Host responses to malaria and bacterial co-infections
Abstract : The two main causes of child mortality and morbidity in Africa are malaria and invasive bacterial diseases. In addition, co-infections in sub-Saharan Africa are the rule rather than the exception. However, not much is known about the host-pathogen interaction during a concomitant infection or how it affects the outcome of disease. READ MORE
