(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-12)One of the most common problem in the developing world is infectious diseases caused by poor living conditions and one such condition is called amoebiasis. The causative agent of which is Entamoeba histolytica; a ... -
Investigating the molecular epidemiology of Norwegian blood culture isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae using whole genome sequencing
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rapidly increasing threat to public health, and was in 2019 listed as one of top ten global health threats by the World Health Organization (WHO). The gram-negative ... -
Investigation of Vinyl Ether Synthesis and Subsequent Application in Organic Synthesis
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The standard method of synthesizing vinyl ethers from the elimination of an alcohol from an acetal was tested against synthesizing them through the elimination of a mesyloxy group. A total of seven different molecules were ... -
Isolation and characterization of exosomes from human plasma related to development of a nanocarrier for epilepsy treatment
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)The investigation of exosomes as a cell-mediated delivery system for the delivery of nucleic acids, proteins and low molecular-weight therapeutic drugs increased during the past two decades. The potential of exosomes as ... -
