(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)At deep-sea hydrothermal vents chemolithoautotrophic microbes mediate the transfer of geothermal chemical energy to higher trophic levels. To better understand these underlying processes and the organisms catalyzing them, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular pathogen that causes life-threatening toxoplasmosis in developing fetuses and immune-compromised individuals. An immune response to a Toxoplasma infection is characterized by the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Protein phosphatases regulate the phosphorylation state of intracellular signaling molecules in conjunction with protein kinases. In order to better understand the role of phosphatases in the ErbB signaling network, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Huntington's Disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of a polyglutamine tract in the huntingtin protein. This mutation leads to conformational instability, resulting in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Bacterial two component signaling (TCS) systems are the predominant means by which bacteria sense and respond to external signals. These systems represent a large family of paralogous proteins; often hundreds of the histidine ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, approximately 22 nucleotide RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by base-pairing to complementary sites in the target mRNA. The first miRNA, lin-4, was discovered in 1993 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Trichodesmium, a genus of diazotrophic cyanobacteria, is an important contributor to the marine nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) cycles. The extent to which Trichodesmium dinitrogen (N2) fixation contributes to the marine N ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, I expand a spatially-explicit bioeconomic fishery model to include the negative effects of fishing effort on habitat quality. I consider two forms of effort driven habitat damage: First, fishing effort may ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for the folding and processing of approximately one third of proteins in eukaryotic cells, and homeostasis in this compartment is tightly regulated. The Unfolded Protein Response, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A key question in biological oceanography is how plankton populations maintain themselves in regions of favorable growth and survival in the face of horizontal transport by ocean currents. Plankton are thought to be retained ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The colonization dynamics and life histories of pioneer species are vital components in understanding the early succession of nascent hydrothermal vents. The reproductive ecology of pioneer species at deep-sea hydrothermal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In Eukaryotic cells, the packaging of genomic DNA into chromatin has important consequences for all DNA-dependent transactions. Chromatin structure is highly regulated by a variety of complex processes that are not well ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Meiosis is the process by which a diploid cell undergoes two sequential rounds of division without an intervening round of DNA replication. The result is the formation of haploid gametes. The genes and signals that regulate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The development of the immune system is a highly dynamic process, characterized by quickly and frequently changing cell types and numbers. The orchestration of cell growth and proliferation and also of cell death is a ...
