11. Bioinformatics studies on the mechanisms of gene regulation in vertebrates
Abstract : Gene regulation implicates an important role in organismal complexity through contributing to phenotypic variation. In my thesis, I studied three diverse components of gene regulatory networks including transcription factors, DNA methylation and microRNAs to elucidate their role in vertebrates. READ MORE

12. Beta-Lactamase in Haemophilus ducreyi: Purification, Characterization, and Mutagenesis
Abstract : Chancroid caused by Haemophilus ducreyi, has been described as a significantly predisposing factor of HIV heterosexual transmission in an endemic region of both diseases. Antibiotic resistances are extensively found in H. ducreyi and many of the resistances are due to the presence of resistance plasmids. READ MORE

13. The genetics of antibiotic production and the role of antibiotics in biological control of Erwinia amylovora by Erwinia herbicola
Abstract : Erwinia herbicola is an epiphyte of apple and pear with potential as a biocontrol agent of Erwinia amylovora, which causes fire blight. This research aimed to assess the relative role of antibiotics produced by E. herbicola, Eh318 as a mechanistic basis for biocontrol. READ MORE

14. Characterization of resistance to quinolones, sulfonamide and trimethoprim in Campylobacter jejuni as well as to macrolides in the related bacterium, Helicobacter pylori
Abstract : Gastroenteritis caused by C. jejuni is usually a mild to moderate self-limiting disease. Treatment is recommended in some cases. In recent years, quinolones have been increasingly used to treat acute bacterial enteritis. READ MORE

15. Jack of all trades, master of none : the multifaceted nature of H3K36 methylation
Abstract : Post-translational modifications of histones enable differential transcriptional control of the genome between cell types and developmental stages, and in response to environmental factors. The methylation of Histone 3 Lysine 36 (H3K36) is one the most complex and well-studied histone modifications and is known to be involved in a wide range of molecular processes. READ MORE
