The tumor-supressive role of RNF144B: a p53-activated E3 ligase guarding genomic stability
El conegut supressor tumoral p53 regula un ampli programa transcripcional que protegeix envers el càncer. No obstant, la complexitat d’aquest programa fa difícil determinar el rol de cada gen regulat per p53. Deplecionar ...
Sleep in the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease: a multimodal biomarkers approach
This Thesis delves into the intricate relationship between sleep disruptions and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sleep disturbances are a prevalent feature of AD, and evidence suggests they may accelerate cognitive decline. ...
Work trajectories after a sickness absence due to cancer in Catalonia (Spain)
The project focuses on cancer and its effects on work trajectories from a life course perspective, both from a qualitative and quantitative approach. Quantitative analyses were based on a retrospective dynamic cohort of ...
NKG2A blockade as a potential strategy to improve NK cell-mediated ADCC in HER2+ breast cancer
Several studies support the contribution of antibody-dependent NK cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) to the clinical efficacy of anti-HER2 therapeutic antibodies in HER2-positive breast cancer. Novel anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugates ...
De novo genome assemblies of endagered species and challenging chromosomes
Modern biology relies on genomic references to perform analyses in most studies. High-quality de novo genome assemblies are key to having references containing all the genomic content of a species. Here I use avant-garde ...
Mechano-biochemical systems modelling for patient stratification in osteoarthritis
This doctoral thesis presents two different computational approaches to explore mechanistically chondrocyte dysregulation and identify biomarkers, to better understand patient stratification systems in primary knee ...
Detection of selection signals on regulatory units across human cancers
Tumor progression is dominated by two evolutionary forces: first mutagenesis, which provides the heritable variability where, secondly, natural selection acts. The main challenge of cancer genomics is to identify the somatic ...

Essays on Learning Theory for time series
This thesis comprises three essays on statistical learning theory for time series. In the first chapter, joint with Christian Brownlees, we propose an alternative specification of a dynamic conditional correlation model ...
Towards stylised facts on international migration research: Immigrants' labor market integration, dynamics of remittance behaviour, and underlying mechanisms of migration rates
This thesis touches upon three subjects within international migration, namely: immigrants’ labour market incorporation, dynamics of remittances behaviour, and the role of migrant networks as an underlying mechanism of ...
A Comprehensive study of arithmetic circuits and elliptic curves for efficient and scalable zero-knowledge proof systems
In recent years, zero-knowledge proofs have come to play a crucial role in distributed systems where there is no trust between the parties involved. Most popular proof systems are for the NP-complete language of arithmetic ...
Multilingual adaptative text simplification
Reading is an essential skill that plays a crucial role in our daily lives. It allows us to access information, gain knowledge, expand our understanding of the world around us, and build the foundation for learning, ...
Towards a comprenhension of spatiotemporal brain dymamics in psychotic disorders a whole-brain computational perspective based on fMRI
Psychotic disorders are highly heterogeneous, complicating diagnosis and treatment. The mechanisms underlying these disorders are still unclear, and bridging the gap between neural properties and impairments remains a ...
