The androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that plays a crucial role in the correct development, differentiation, and function of male reproductive organs. Alterations in the ...
Donoghue, Craig (Date of defense: 2019-07-24)
The thesis consists of two main projects: a) the development of a novel strategy to gain genetic control with spatiotemporal precision, and b) the optimisation of inhibitors of the protein kinase p38α, ...
Guardiola Bagán, Salvador (Date of defense: 2017-09-15)
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and protein surfaces are considered challenging targets for drug discovery. In this field, conventional medicinal chemistry (i.e. small molecules) has largely failed ...
Coronas Serna, Luis Enrique (Date of defense: 2023-03-28)
[eng] This thesis develops, validates, and explores applications of the Franzese-Stanley (FS) coarse-grained model for bulk water, ultimately intended to represent the solvent in large-scale simulations ...
Arroyo Sánchez, Rodrigo (Date of defense: 2014-06-20)
Network and systems biology disciplines could revolutionize the study of complex diseases by taking proteins back to their context, considering a much broader perspective of their environment without ...
