1. Detection and Quantification of Variable Viral RNA by Real-Time PCR Assays
Abstract : As the area of nucleic acid based technologies develops, so will our understanding of how structural variations in DNA and RNA pathogens are associated with disease. The overall goal of this thesis is the development of broadly targeted measurement techniques for variable viral RNA by Real-Time PCR (here referred to as quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR, QRT-PCR).

2. Regulation of vascular function by fluid mechanical forces. Development of a new vascular experimental platform for integrative physiological and molecular biological studies of living conduit vessels
Abstract : The vascular endothelium is a multifunctional interface between blood flow and target organs and is continuously exposed to fluid mechanical forces such as shear stress, compressive, and tensile forces. Both in vivo and in vitro data indicate that biomechanical forces exert important modulating effects on key vascular functions. READ MORE

3. Plasma Membrane Proteomics and Functional Characterization & Expression Profiling of Plant Aquaporins
Abstract : In order to identify integral and peripheral proteins associated with the plasma membrane (PM), highly purified Arabidopsis PMs were analyzed by mass spectrometry. In total, 238 putative PM proteins were identified, of which 114 were predicted to have transmembrane domains or to be PM-anchored. READ MORE

4. Quantitative analysis of melanoma transcripts : with emphasis on methodological and biological variation
Abstract : The introduction of RT-PCR made it possible to detect circulating tumor cells in melanoma patients by analysis of melanoma-associated transcripts, especially tyrosinase. Since the development of the first PCR method for tyrosinase mRNA, several studies have presented varying results. READ MORE

5. Plant Aquaporins: A study of expression, localization, specificity, and regulation
Abstract : Aquaporins, or Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIPs), are integral proteins that facilitate transport of water and other small neutral solutes across biological membranes. They belong to a well conserved and ancient family of proteins, present in all organisms ranging from bacteria to plants and humans. READ MORE
