Background to the Research
Monitoring of biotransformation reactions are becoming increasingly relevant as the impact of xenobiotics on the metabolism is beginning to unfold and correlations are found between the production of certain biotransformation products and the development of certain cancers. The complex systems of detoxification enzymes generally function adequately…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/biotransformation-and-oxidative-stress-status-laboratory/formerpast-members

History to the Group
The group was established in 2007 on the initiative of Prof Albie van Dijk after her return to South Africa and in response to requests from fellow South African researchers for molecular input in rotavirus research.https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/molecular-virology-laboratory/background-research
Background to the Research
Rotavirus gastroenteritis still causes up to 125 000 deaths in children under the age of five annually worldwide, and remains a leading cause of severe acute viral gastroenteritis despite four commercial vaccines being available. The reasons why the commercial vaccines are less effective in children in the developing countries of Africa and Asia…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/molecular-virology-laboratory/funders
