Evaluation of topoisomers of snake venom-derived peptides as potential antimicrobial and antitumor agents 

Carrera, Adam (Date of defense: 2025-02-12)

This thesis reports an investigation of the effect of topoisomeric modification on the activity of two peptides: crotalicidin (Ctn), a cathelicidin from the venom of a South American rattlesnake, and Ctn[15-34], a Ctn ...

Evolutionary dynamics of cancer drug resistance and prediction of tumor modes of growth 

Dick, Nicola Elisabeth (Date of defense: 2025-02-11)

Cancer remains a significant challenge in healthcare and is a leading concern worldwide. Despite advances in cancer therapy and the identification of numerous actionable events, relapse and drug resistance continue to ...

Novel experimental strategies to characterize the genomic architecture of monogenic autoinflammatory diseases: from characterization of aberrant mRNA transcripts to elucidation of the role of post-zygotic variants in desease pathogenesis 

Bonet Martín, Núria (Date of defense: 2025-02-10)

Developments in sequencing technologies over the last decade have revolutionized the ability to identify the genetic mechanisms underlying rare autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs), enabling improved characterization and ...

The molecular mechanism of spindle pole focusing: NuMA as a dynein adaptor and microtubule minus end regulator 

Colombo, Sabina (Date of defense: 2025-02-07)

Unravelling the molecular pathways of auditory and vestibular function: the roles of sall1a and the fgf13 genes in the zebrafish inner ear development 

Montedeoca Vázquez, Nerea (Date of defense: 2025-01-31)

L’oïda interna és un òrgan sensorial complex essencial per a les funcions auditiva i vestibular, que depèn de les cèl·lules ciliades per a la mecanotransducció i de les neurones sensorials per a transmetre senyals al sistema ...

New strategies for targeting transactivation domains: insights from the androgen receptor 

Biesaga, Mateusz (Date of defense: 2022-11-28)

Transcription factors are, in theory, ideal targets for developing new therapies, as they drive the expression of genes, oftentimes those that lead to pathologies. However, these proteins typically contain large intrinsically ...

Skin microbiome engineering: new generation of therapeutics: engineering Cutibacterium acnes to treat skin conditions 

Knödlseder, Nastassia Johanna (Date of defense: 2023-01-27)

We are living in a symbiotic relationship with our Microbiome. This relationship with our microbes can become opportunistic and lead to dysbiosis. While we were previously treating dysbiosis with antimicrobial drugs, we ...
