1 Pecchia-Bekkum, AnnikaApplications of controlled DNA assembly and disassembly in biosensing and responsive drug deliveryDeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) provides many exciting functions outside of simply encoding genetic information. Herein, we report two techniques to control the assembly and disassembly of nucleic acids. Within these techniques, DNA is used as a programmable material for biosensing and drug delivery. In...Nucleic acids - Biotechnology2013-08
2 Ballif, MicahDrugs and Pregnancy: Clinical Management with a Cystic Fibrosis FocusDespite the large number of women who become pregnant and use a medication during their pregnancy, there is very little information about the safety of the majority of medications. Most drugs approved by the FDA have undetermined teratogenic risk, but their use is prevalent in the management of dise...2019
3 Cowley, JacobOptimization of total synthesis of indolizidine alkaloids VIA nickel catalyzed (4 + 2) cyclization utilizing silyl and stannyl alkynesIn order to expand the versatility of the synthetic route to naturally occurring indolizidine alkaloids previously developed in the Louie Group, a path was developed using a bicyclic azetidinone to produce indolizidine alkaloids such as (+)-seco-antofine. However, due to the asymmetric nature of the...2021
4 Cantrell, Rachel Lou-La VonneSynthesis of Antibiotic Scaffolds Inspired by the Tan 1057-D Biologically Active Natural Product Through the Utilization of Ullmann Copper(I) and Gold Cyclization ChemistryAs bacterial resistance to drugs continues to rise, the search for new antibiotics is of paramount importance. One key element to finding successful antibiotics is to uncover small molecules that act through novel mechanisms of action in order to decrease the risk of cross-resistance and provide ant...2020
5 Hansen, MasonInterferon gamma inducible nampt and its role in resisting cancer cell growthThe tumor microenvironment (TME) is very complex and important due to its ability to influence the response of therapies on tumors. Immune cells infiltrate the TME and secrete inflammatory cytokines, such as interferon-gamma (IFNg), which help activate the immune system. This activation leads to an ...2023
6 Olsen, NicholasSimple Molecular Models for Chiral CrystallizationChiral molecules play an important role in many biological processes.1 Important chiral biomolecules include certain amino acids, sugars, DNA, RNA, and many proteins. Chiral molecules have enantiomers, mirror-image isomers that cannot be superimposed on each other. The classic analogy to enantiomers...2020
7 Arave, Rowan A.AKT1 activation promotes the development of melanoma metastasisMetastases are the major cause of melanoma-related mortality. Previous studies implicating aberrant AKT (or protein kinase B) signaling in human melanoma metastases led to the evaluation of the effect of activated AKT1 expression in non-metastatic BRAFV600E/cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2a nu...Melanoma - Genetics - Research; Metastasis - Genetics - Research; Biochemistry; Genetics2015-12
