  1. 1. Exploring alternative surfactants to replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Elina Edidovica; [2024]
    Keywords : Lipid nanoparticle; polyethelyne glycol PEG ; alpha-tomatine; N-hexadecyl beta d-maltoside HDM ; DOPC; DPPC; cholesterol; film hydration; stability study; DLS; Cryo-TEM; SAXS; pharmaceutical formulation; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Over the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. READ MORE

  3. 2. Combining Cell Painting, Gene Expression and Structure-Activity Data for Mechanism of Action Prediction

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationellt resurscentrum för biologi och bioteknik

    Author : Erik Everett Palm; [2023]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; deep learning; machine learning; joint model; tabular data; image data;

    Abstract : The rapid progress in high-throughput omics methods and high-resolution morphological profiling, coupled with the significant advances in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), has opened new avenues for tackling the notoriously difficult problem of predicting the Mechanism of Action (MoA) for a drug of clinical interest. Understanding a drug's MoA can enrich our knowledge of its biological activity, shed light on potential side effects, and serve as a predictor of clinical success. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analyzing the performance of active learning strategies on machine learning problems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Vendela Werner; [2023]
    Keywords : computer science; bioinformatics; machine learning; active learning; artificial intelligence; supervised learning; Astrazeneca; maskininlärning; artificiell intelligens; datorvetenskap; active learning; bioinformatik; supervised learning;

    Abstract : Digitalisation within industries is rapidly advancing and data possibilities are growing daily. Machine learning models need a large amount of data that are well-annotated for good performance. To get well-annotated data, an expert is needed, which is expensive, and the annotation itself could be very time-consuming. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of different block-copolymer coatings of iron oxide nanoparticles by flash nanoprecipitation

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Felix Bogdan; [2023]
    Keywords : Nanopartiklar; organisk katalysator; ROP; block-sampolymerer PL G A; oljesyra IONPs; Nanoparticles; organic catalyst; ROP; block-copolymers PL G A; oleic acid IONPs;

    Abstract : Nanopartiklar (NP) erbjuder unika möjligheter för medicinska tillämpningar, inklusive kontrollerad frisättning av cancerläkemedel, användning som bildkontrast vid avbildningsprocedurer eller hypertermisk behandling av cancerceller. Flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) producerar NPs för att kombinera dessa tillämpningar i en snabb, billig och skalbar beläggningsprocess. READ MORE

  6. 5. Comparison of properties on Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) produced by direct compression or fluid bed granulation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Julia Ahlbom; [2023]
    Keywords : Orally disintegrating tablet; fluid bed granulation; disintegration time; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the excipients or the excipients were pretreated to form granules in a fluid bed granulator prior to tableting.
