RESEARCH
Graduate Geobiochemistry
Calcification-mechanisms in the algae Emiliania Huxleyi.
Structural characterization of the polysaccharide associated
with the algeal calcium carbonate mineral, testing of its effects
on calcium carbonate crystallization. (publications 1,3,4)
Immunology
Isolation and characterization of the C3b complement
-receptor from human erythrocytes. Assessment of its role
in the human immunologic system. (publication 2)
Informational science Dataprocessing, applied statistics, Pascal, SPPS Postgraduate Urinary stones Cause and treatment of calcium oxalate urinary stone formation, with a focus on the role of crystallization processes,
crystal-cell interaction, renal interstitial reactions, renal develop-
ment and treatment in calcium oxalate stone formation.
Pediatric Urology Renal and bladder pathogenesis in obstruction of the urinary tract. Ongoing projects deal with: functional and structural
changes in the bladder and kidney with infravesical obstruction
and renal effects of ureteral obstruction. In both projects a major
focus is development of new diagnostics and interventions.
Malignant transformation of early germ cells in ovotestis. The
objectives of this project are to improve the treatment of inter-
sex patients and to develop early markers for testicular tumors.
Urinary tract infection. The role of bacterial populations in the
urinary tract for cause and diagnosis of urinary tract infection.
