6. Genomic mutational heterogeneity in cancer. lmproved models and tools for driver gene detection
Abstract : Cancer is a disease that is strongly related to evolution, as mutations that confer a benefit to individual cells face positive selection and eventually lead to tumorigenesis. As such, the search for genes that drive cancer development entails distinguishing positive selection from other sources of increased mutation rates, which requires detailed knowledge of how normal mutation rates vary across the genome.

7. The study of sensory cilia development in caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract : Cilia and flagella are widespread eukaryotic subcellular components that are conserved from green algae to mammals. In different organisms they function in cell motility, movement of extracellular fluids and sensory reception. READ MORE

8. Structure-Based Design and Synthesis of Protease Inhibitors Using Cycloalkenes as Proline Bioisosteres and Combinatorial Syntheses of a Targeted Library
Abstract : Structure-based drug design and combinatorial chemistry play important roles in the search for new drugs, and both these elements of medicinal chemistry were included in the present studies. This thesis outlines the synthesis of protease inhibitors against thrombin and the HCV NS3 protease, as well as the synthesis of a combinatorial library using solid phase chemistry. READ MORE

9. Mechanistic studies of a novel inhibitor of the ubiquitin-proteasome system
Abstract : The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) not only maintains cellular proteostasis, but plays an essential role in multiple vital cellular processes, including survival and growth. Proteasomal inhibitors, such as bortezomib, have been shown to have effective anti-cancer properties, verifying the UPS as a viable drug target in cancer treatment. READ MORE

10. Molecular Electronic Devices based on Ru(II) Thiophenyl Pyridine and Thienopyridine Architecture
Abstract : According to the famous axiom known as Moore’s Law the number of transistors that can be etched on a given piece of ultra-pure silicon, and therefore the computing power, will double every 18 to 24 months. However, around 2020 hardware manufacturers will have reached the physical limits of silicon. READ MORE
