  • Innovative Bioanalytical Tools & Methods for Combinatorial Non-Coding RNA Analysis

    Creator:
    Zhang, Lulu
    Abstract:
    Recently researchers have discovered that groups of small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play regulatory roles in gene expression and participate in various biological processes. For example, pathogenesis of many diseases, cell cycle regulation, and signaling pathways. Intracellular and live cell imaging of small ncRNA groups will reveal their relative expression levels...

  • Gene Activation Strategies in Filamentous Fungi for Natural Products Discovery

    Creator:
    Adpressa, Donovon A.
    Abstract:
    Fungi have long been a prolific source of clinically approved drugs. The antibiotic penicillin, the cholesterol lowering statins, and the immunosuppressant cyclosporine have changed the treatment of human diseases in the last century. Recently, genome analysis of filamentous fungi has revealed that the biosynthetic potential for natural product expression is...

  • The optical properties of multi-scale plasmonic structures and their applications in optical characterization and imaging

    Creator:
    Kuhta, Nicholas Anthony
    Abstract:
    The optical response of metallic structures is dominated by the dynamics of their free electron plasma. Plasmonics, the area of optics specializing in the electromagnetic behavior of heterogeneous structures with metallic inclusions, is undergoing rapid development, fueled in part by recent progress in experimental fabrication techniques and novel theoretical approaches....

  • Nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy of carbon nanomaterials and semiconductor nanostructures

    Creator:
    Paul, Michael Jason
    Abstract:
    This thesis will cover my work relating to the developing field of terahertz (THz) science and technology. It will present experimental and theoretical studies investigating the optical and electrical properties of various material systems using novel THz imaging and spectroscopy techniques. Due to its low photon energy, THz imaging and...
