The construction, analysis and validation of mechanistic mathematical models of protein kinetics in the context of replicative ageing in budding yeast
(2020-05-04)
Mathematical modelling constitutes a forceful tool for elucidating properties of biological systems. Using theoretical approaches in combination with experimental techniques it is possible to study specific molecular aspects ...
Reverse structural biology: Cellular processes uncovered by electron microscopy
(2021-03-25)
This thesis contains two projects, both using electron microscopy as the primary technique. In the first project, nuclear envelope budding (NEB) is investigated as an alternate method of transport across the nuclear ...
Tropical cyclone induced extreme wind, rainfall, and floods in the Mekong River Basin
(2020-04-27)
Increasing magnitude and frequency of climate extremes under global warming are threatening the socioeconomic development in many parts of the world. The Mekong River Basin (MRB) is a good example for how climate extremes ...
Evolutionary genetics and consequences of inbreeding in sand lizards (Lacerta agilis)
(2021-05-04)
Inbreeding is a well-known phenomenon in evolutionary and conservation biology. In the 19th
century, Charles Darwin demonstrated the detrimental effects of inbreeding in plants, followed by
over a century of extensive ...
Identification of novel BRCA2-binding proteins that are essential for meiotic homologous recombination
(2021-01-27)
Meiotic recombination is a molecular process in which the induction and repair of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) creates genetic exchange between homologous chromosomes and thus increases genetic diversity and ...
New Perspectives in Multi-trophic Aquaculture
(2021-05-26)
Aquaculture, the farming of marine and aquatic organisms, is currently the fastest growing food production sector globally. As capture fisheries have stagnated and the fishing down of marine food webs has been seen to be ...
Advancing Evolutionary Biology: Genomics, Bayesian Statistics, and Machine Learning
(2020-11-20)
During the recent decades the field of evolutionary biology has entered the era of big data, which has transformed the field into an increasingly computational discipline. In this thesis I present novel computational method ...
LOOK AROUND, WHAT CAN YOU DISCOVER? The science center - a critical space for science student teachers’ development
(2021-04-21)
This thesis aims to examine the opportunities and constraints on student teachers’ learning of science
and teaching science when they work in small groups; planning, implementing, and reflecting upon
teaching at the ...
Development and Applications of Microfluidic Devices for Liver-on-a-Chip Studies
(2021-10-12)
Modeling the human physiology in vitro is a challenging task, yet one of importance for the development of drugs and the study of diseases. To better address the complexities of human organs, microfluidic systems called ...
