A new model for ranking schools of public health: the public health academic ranking (Publications)
Objectives: As there is no ranking designed for schools of Public Health, the aim of this project was to create one. Methods: To design the Public Health Academic Ranking (PHAR), we used the InCites B
Phylogenetic analysis of pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, a redox enzyme involved in the pharmacological activation of nitro-based prodrugs in... (Publications)
The present frontrunners in the chemotherapy of infections caused by protozoa are nitro-based prodrugs that are selectively activated by PFOR-mediated redox reactions. This study seeks to analyze the
