(2018). Pro-drug strategies for pancreatic cancer therapy

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth main cancer in the western world. Currently the only chemotherapy available clinically is gemcitabine. However, gemcitabine treatment only proves effective in 23.8% of patients. Nano-structures (<120 nm) are capable of...

Towards monitoring of the progress of chemical reactions using a novel plasma-assisted desorption ionisation mass spectrometry methodology
Thesis
(2018). Towards monitoring of the progress of chemical reactions using a novel plasma-assisted desorption ionisation mass spectrometry methodology

A novel method for monitoring of pharmaceutically relevant reactions using PADI-MS has been developed in this study. The visible non-thermal plasma plume from a coaxial helium gas flow non-thermal RF plasma was optimised using a range of samples. PAD...

Apoptosis and its association with immunomodulation and disease in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)
Thesis
(2013). Apoptosis and its association with immunomodulation and disease in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Stimulating the Immune system of fish by oral administration of immunomodulatory substances can prevent disease outbreaks in aquaculture. Yeast p( l ,3/1 ,6)-glucan, the active ingredient of the commercially available feed supplement MacroGard®, has...
