Ultrasensitive DNA sequencing using liquid biopsies enables precision medicine
(2021-03-18)Liquid biopsies are minimally invasive and allow repetitive sampling of body fluids. Analysis of cell-free tumor DNA in liquid biopsies can be used as a biomarker for cancer. However, in most clinically relevant liquid ... -
Understanding the regulatory requirements for gut IgA B cell responses and their potential role in mucosal vaccine development
(2018-05-28)It is important to understand gut B cell differentiation, from the activation of cells at inductive lymphoid sites to the formation of gut plasma and memory B cell, to be able to develop efficient oral vaccines but the ... -
Understanding the role of long non-coding RNAs in neuroblastoma development and progression
(2019-11-11)Neuroblastoma (NB), a common cancer of childhood, contributes to 15% of all pediatric cancer deaths. The improper neuronal differentiation of neural crest cells to mature neurons in the sympathetic nervous system leads to ... -
Unravelling the mechanisms for mucosal tolerance induction using the CTA1R7K-X-DD immunomodulating fusion protein
(2016-11-11)Unravelling the mechanisms for mucosal tolerance induction using the CTA1R7K-X-DD immunomodulating fusion protein: Effective treatment options against autoimmune diseases Tolerance is a physiological mechanism that ... -
Vaccination against cholera and ETEC diarrhea and interventions to improve vaccine immune responses.
(2009-06-10)Vaccination against cholera and ETEC diarrhea and interventions to improve vaccine immune responses Abstract Vibrio cholerae O1 and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) together account for the majority of bacterial ... -

Varicella-zoster virus infections of the central nervous system
(2013-05-24)Both varicella (chickenpox), and the reactivated form of herpes zoster (shingles), may cause neurological complications with various central nervous system (CNS) manifestations. Following introduction of PCR as a diagnostic ... -
Viral proteins as serological antigens - Development and clinical applications
Serological methods are based on the detection of antibodies and antigens in mainly serum but also in other body fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Conventional whole virus antigens are widely used in viral serological ... -
Virulence factors and clonal relatedness of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolated from children with diarrhoea in Bolivia
(2011-11-25)Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the major causes of diarrhoea in children under five years of age in developing countries and in travellers to these settings. To cause disease, ETEC must be able to colonize ... -
Whole Genome Sequencing of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
(2016-05-06)Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections are a common cause of diarrhea but little is known about the evolution and genomic composition of ETEC. The main aim of this thesis was to generate a large collection of ...
