Analysis of Fatty Acids by High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry
(The University of Bergen, 2019-09-28)Fatty acids (FA) have been traditionally analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) as fatty acids methyl esters (FAME) and more recently using mass spectrometry (MS) detection. Since high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ...Master thesis -
Synthesis of substituted imidazoles that stabilizes Survival Motor Neuron Protein for treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
(The University of Bergen, 2019-08-31)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common autosomal recessive disorder and the leading cause of infant mortality. Patients with this disorder are missing the SMN1 gene that is producing 80-90 % of the Spinal motor neuron ...Master thesis -
Synthesis and characterization of synthetic and biopolymer hydrogels
(The University of Bergen, 2019-09-04)Hydrogels are widely researched for biomedical applications such as drug delivery. The tunable properties of hydrogels, in terms of swelling, mechanical properties and mesh size, make them prime candidates for this ...Master thesis -
Development of Small Molecules that Post-Transitionally Stabilizes the SMN Protein for the Treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
(The University of Bergen, 2019-08-31)Spinal Muscular Atrophy is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, caused by the lack of SMN genes. Previous work done by Laboratory for Drug Discovery in Neurodegeneration (LDDN) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital ...Master thesis -

Viscosity and Viscoelastic Properties in Hydrophobically Modified Polymers for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(The University of Bergen, 2019-01-25)Polymers have been studied and used for mobility control since the 1960s and found to improve the mobility ratio between the injected fluid and the displaced oil. However, small changes in polymer structure and/or relation ...Doctoral thesis -
Polymer flow in porous media: Relevance to Enhanced Oil Recovery
(MDPI, 2018-07-10)Polymer flooding is one of the most successful chemical EOR (enhanced oil recovery) methods, and is primarily implemented to accelerate oil production by sweep improvement. However, additional benefits have extended the ...Journal article -
