Spring 2013
Spinal cord injury is most commonly caused by physical trauma, and the resulting functional loss can vary considerably in both degree, extent and location. Understanding what spinal cord tissue is damaged and to what degree can be useful in both determining the appropriate treatment for...

External sensors for the feedback control of functional electrical stimulation assisted walking
DownloadFall 2010
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a rehabilitative technology that can be used to improve walking in individuals with mobility impairments due to neurologic injury or disease. Feedback is essential for efficient FES-assisted walking. The overall goal of my project was to investigate...

Gene Targeting: A Focus on Acute Myeloid Leukemia Gene Silencing and Detection of Methylated DNA by Exploring the Use of Synthetic Nanocarriers and Nucleic Acid Analogs
DownloadSpring 2019
Research in the field of nucleic acids and molecular genetics has enormously enhanced our knowledge about the genetic origins of a myriad of disease. Currently from this knowledge, various gene-targeted therapies and biomarker detection and diagnostic assays are being developed, which are...

Human Plasma Adsorption to Biomaterials: Fundamental Level Chemical Modifications and Their Effects on Biocompatibility
DownloadFall 2017
The non-specific adsorption of proteins to biomaterials is a process that begins instantly upon implantation and results in the formation of a protein-rich layer coating the biomaterial surface. The consequences of this complex phenomenon are far-reaching and may affect both the biomaterial...

Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) play main role in constituting the whole hematopoietic system. Furthermore, since recognized in 1960s, HSPC are utilized to protect patients from severe chemo and radio therapy. As time goes, they are also used to treat hematopoietic disorders such as...
