Data-driven modelling of protein synthesis: A sequence perspective

Recent advances in DNA sequencing, synthesis and genetic engineering have enabled the introduction of choice DNA sequences into living cells. This is an exciting prospect for the field of industrial biotechnology, which aims at using microorganisms to produce foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and fine- and bulk chemicals in a sustainable fashion...

Computational Biology in Clinical Proteomics and Chromatin Genomics

The work in this thesis is concerned with two very distinct biological fields. The first part pertains to the development of techniques to aid in the search for clinical biomarkers for use in the early detection of cancer. The second part aims to elucidate in what way a genome is organised in a cell nucleus and the functional consequences of...
