Spring 2014
Conversion of protein-rich biomass waste into value-added industrial products via chemical cross-linking reactions was explored. Two types of cross-linking reagents were investigated: dialdehydes and epoxy resins. Reaction chemistry was the main focus of this investigation and the main reaction...

Delivery of STAT3 inhibitor cucurbitacins to tumor by polymeric nano-carriers : Implications in cancer chemo- and immunotherapy
DownloadFall 2009
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3), a common oncogenic mediator, is constitutively activated in many types of human cancers and plays a critical role in tumor growth and cancer immune evasion. The focus of this dissertation is the delivery of STAT3 inhibitor cucurbitacins...

Da Silveira Cavalcante, Luciana
Red blood cells (RBCs) are the most commonly used components in cell therapy and their transfusion save millions of lives every year. These benefits were only achieved through advances in blood banking storage techniques that guarantee an available supply of blood to support medical emergencies...

Liposome-based therapy: An alternative approach to treat Helicobacter pylori infection in high prevalence communities such as Aklavik, NWT
DownloadSpring 2016
Helicobacter pylori infects about half of the world population causing chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer or gastric cancer. The Aboriginal people in Aklavik, NWT, Canada are concerned about gastric cancer because of the high prevalence of H. pylori infection (58%) in their community. H. pylori...

Spring 2011
The objective of this thesis is to design nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery systems suitable for treatment of bone diseases. Two types of nanocarriers, (1) polymer coated bovine serum albumin (BSA) NPs and (2) lipid based NPs (micelles and liposomes) were investigated. The BSA NPs were...

Hybrid Polymer Plasmonic Devices for Enhanced All-Plasmonic Switching Based on Photothermal Nonlinearity
DownloadFall 2015
Nanoplasmonic devices have received much attention in recent years due to their ability to confine light below the diffraction limit, thereby providing a potential route to the creation of nanometer-scale integrated photonic devices. However, with the strong confinement of light come large...
