Inference of selection acting on coding sequences in the human lineage 

Ali, Hossameldin (Date of defense: 2024-12-10)

Selection forces have shaped the current human DNA sequence through evolution. These forces have been consistently changing, in magnitude and direction, across the different evolutionary episodes of the extant human ...

A New in vitro model to study the regulatory functions of β cells in early stages of type1 diabetes 

Pérez-González, Beatriz (Date of defense: 2024-12-10)

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease marked by the selective destruction of pancreatic β cells. Early insulitis involves interactions between immune cells and β cells, but the mechanisms leading to β cell death ...

Quantifying cellular behavior during early mammalian development 

Casaní Galdón, Pablo (Date of defense: 2024-12-05)

In this thesis we study cell behaviours such as cellular decision making and self-organization using the developing mouse embryo as the system of study. To be able to extract the most needed cellular dynamics from ...

Interrogating the importance of x-chromosome inactivation and reactivation for meiotic potential 

Mattimoe, Tom (Date of defense: 2024-12-04)

X-chromosome dosage compensation in female mammals is achieved through X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), where one X chromosome is epigenetically silenced to ensure dosage parity with male cells. During germline development, ...

Deciphering lymphoma-specific DNA methylation alterations in healthy B cells: a single-cell multiomics study 

Bianchi, Agostina (Date of defense: 2024-12-03)

Recent studies have shown that clones harboring cancer driver mutations colonize our tissues as we age. It remains to be determined whether the same is true for epigenetic alterations, specifically DNA methylation (DNAm) ...

Dissecting motor behaviour alterations in Parkinson's disease using genetically modified zebrafish models 

Tzotzolaki, Tanita Maria (Date of defense: 2024-12-02)

Los trastornos neurodegenerativos como la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) implican la degeneración progresiva del sistema nervioso, lo que provoca alteraciones tanto motoras como cognitivas. La EP afecta a millones de personas ...

Decoding the regulatory grammar of hematopoiesis using synthetic enhancers 

Frömel, Robert Udo (Date of defense: 2024-11-29)

During cellular differentiation, gene regulatory elements (GREs) play a crucial role in converting expression gradients of transcription factors (TF) into precise target gene activation. However, the underlying rules are ...

Novel transcription mechanisms used by dendritic cells in the tumor immune microenvironment 

Krasko, Anastasia (Date of defense: 2024-11-29)

Interferon is essential for eliciting adaptive immunity against cancer cells. Type I interferon (IFNI) activates proinflammatory responses in dendritic cells (DCs) and this promotes specific anti-tumor T cell responses. ...

Equivariant graph neural networks in drug discover: from property prediction to molecule generation 

Cremer, Julian (Date of defense: 2024-11-28)

Advancements in machine learning have revolutionized various aspects of drug discovery, from molecular property prediction to de novo design. This thesis presents a comprehensive exploration of equivariant graph neural ...

When P. falciparum meets the brain microvasculature: a 3D blood-brain barrier model to study cerebral malaria 

Piatti, Livia (Date of defense: 2024-11-28)

La alteración de la barrera hematoencefálica está relacionada con la malaria cerebral, una complicación de la infección por Plasmodium falciparum asociada con la acumulación del parásito en los vasos sanguíneos cerebrales. ...

Machine learning methods of property prediction in drug discovery 

Schapin, Nikolai (Date of defense: 2024-11-28)

Molecular properties are highly important in drug discovery with binding affinity being crucial for selecting hit and lead candidates. Existing machine learning models often lack speed for large-scale screening or lack ...

Silence speaks volumes a fine-frained analysis of pause production reveals group differences on the spectrum of cognitive decline 

Lofgren, Mary (Date of defense: 2024-11-18)

Previous evidence suggests that increased pause production in spontaneous speech can indicate cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and that this may depend on the linguistic context of the pause, such as syntactic ...

CEBPa is an orchestrator of trophectoderm specification 

Wei, Xiao (Date of defense: 2024-11-27)

La bifurcación entre trofoectodermo y la masa celular interna es la decisión de desarrollo más temprana, pero cómo se inicia y en qué etapa embrionaria ocurre no se entiende completamente. Aquí describimos que el factor ...

Synaptic transcriptomic changes sensitive to pharmacological approaches in fragile X syndrome: from mouse to human 

Reyes Ramírez, Lucía de los (Date of defense: 2024-11-26)
