1. En didaktisk studie av kunskapsinnehåll i biologi på universitetet : Med genbegreppet som exempel
Sammanfattning : This thesis is about knowing in biology in higher education and research. The gene concept is used as an example of knowledge content that is common to both biological research and education. The purpose is to study how knowing about the gene is expressed in different forms of knowledge contexts at the university. LÄS MER
2. Epistemisk drift : Genbegreppets rörelser i några av forskningens och undervisningens texter i biologi
Sammanfattning : Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats är att utveckla förståelsen för relationen mellan den kunskap som tas fram i forskning i biologi och den kunskap som det sedan undervisas om, i kurser på universitetet. Arbetet i denna uppsats är begränsat till den del av forskning och undervisning som är inriktad mot användningen av vetenskapliga begrepp i texter, och vilka innebörder användningarna leder till.

3. Nucleic acid in gene delivery and gene regulation
Sammanfattning : The concept of gene therapy, initially attributed to a technology that would allow the correction of inherited genetic disease, has evolved over the years. The realization of the immense technical hurdles to achieve genetic correction led to a broadening of the concept now including the transfer of genetic material whose expression will counteract, mitigate or revert a disease phenotype.

4. Graph theory based approaches for gene prioritization in biological networks : Application to cancer gene detection in medulloblastoma
Sammanfattning : Networks provide an intuitive and highly adaptable means to model relationships between objects. When translated to mathematical graphs, they become further amenable to a plethora of mathematical operations that allow a detailed study of the underlying relational data. LÄS MER
5. Making Doable Problems within Controversial Science : U.S. and Swedish Scientists’ Experience of Gene Transfer Research
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores how scientists within the controversial scientific field of gene transfer make their research doable. Based on in-depth interviews with gene transfer scientists and key individuals from different regulatory agencies and advisory boards in Sweden and the U.S.A. LÄS MER
