The Role of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Signaling in Medulloblastoma Metastasis
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumor in children and one third of the patients remain incurable. Tumor metastasis is one of the primary reasons for its high mortality rate. Despite evidence of overexpression of ... -
Structural Studies of BECN1, A Key Autophagy Protein, and Intrinsically Disordered Regions in Autophagy Proteins
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Autophagy, a conserved catabolic process required for cellular homeostasis in eukaryotes, is regulated by many proteins. The central goal of my doctoral research is to investigate conformational flexibility of autophagy ... -
Towards Identifying the Physical and Molecular Components Involved in Resistance to Leaf Rust Pathogen Puccinia Triticina in Wheat and Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Genetic resistance is the preferred method to reduce yield losses caused by many diseases including wheat leaf rust. However, in many cases host resistance seems to be short-lived. For decades, scientists have tried and ...
