- Description:
- Nanoparticle synthesis is capable of producing particles with any combination of structure, chemistry, size, shape, and surface. All of the different combinations of these physical properties can produce nanoparticles with almost countless materials properties suited for many applications. Given this interest in using nanoparticles in so many different fields, including...

- Description:
- Newborns are particularly susceptible to severe forms of herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) infection including encephalitis and multisystemic disseminated disease. The underlying age-dependent differences in the immune response that explain this increased susceptibility relative to the adult population remain largely understudied. Evidence from animal studies and genetic studies in...

- Description:
- This dissertation consists of three papers on methods for meta-analysis with few studies. These papers are concerned with proper inference from meta-analysis models that combine data from a small number of studies using fixed and random-effects models. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to meta-analysis, the motivation for this work and...

- Description:
- This thesis proposes a robust multi-pronged approach to study the effect of nanoparticles on cells. In the first place, this work is focused on investigation of the protein corona that accumulates on the surface of nanoparticles internalized by the cells and their poly-pathway effects on protein availability and messenger RNA...

- Description:
- Chemokines, such as Stromal Derived Factor 1 (SDF-1 or CXCL12) and their G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are well known regulators of the development and functions of numerous tissues. CXCL12 has two receptors: CXCR4 and CXCR7 or atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3). CXCR7 has been described as an atypical “biased”...
