• THE IMPACT OF TRANSLATIONAL FIDELITY ON HUMAN HEALTH 

  Marques dos Santos Vieira, Carolina (2018)

  Ribosomopathies are a class of diseases resulting from mutations in genes encoding ribosomal proteins and ribosome biogenesis factors. Pleiotropic clinical presentations of different ribosomopathies has been taken as ...

• COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF TRANSCRIPTOMIC AND GENETIC UNDERPINNINGs OF AGING AND HGPS 

  Wang, Kun (2018)

  Normal aging is a complex process affecting everyone, and also a major risk factor for many complex diseases. Hutchinson Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disease with symptoms of aging at a very early ...

• Mobile RNA reveal differential requirements for gene silencing in C. elegans at single-cell resolution 

  Ravikumar, Snusha (2018)

  Delivery of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into animals can silence genes of matching sequence in diverse cell types through mechanisms that have been collectively called RNA interference. In the worm C. elegans, such ...

• IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL PLANT IMMUNE COMPONENTS USING THE ARABIDOPSIS-POWDERY MILDEW PATHOSYSTEM 

  Zhang, Qiong (2018)

  Despite tremendous progress in the field of plant immunity in the past two decades, how plants mount spatiotemporally appropriate defenses against pathogens is still not well characterized. My thesis project took both ...

• STIMULATION OF GROWTH AND METABOLITES PRODUCTION OF LACTOBACILLUS IN CONTROL OF ENTERIC BACTERIAL PATHOGEN INFECTION AND IMPROVING GUT HEALTH 

  Peng, Mengfei (2018)

  Foodborne enteric diseases cause millions of illness and thousands of deaths annually in the United States. Major enteric bacterial pathogens include Salmonella, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC), Campylobacter, ...
