Exposure to environmental microorganisms and childhood asthma (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Children who grow up in environments that afford them a wide range of microbial exposures, such as traditional farms, are protected from childhood asthma and atopy. In previous studies, ma
Asthma and obesity in children: current evidence and potential systems biology approaches (Publications)
Both obesity and asthma are highly prevalent, complex diseases modified by multiple factors. Genetic, developmental, lung mechanical, immunological and behavioural factors have all been suggested as p
Increased regulatory T-cell numbers are associated with farm milk exposure and lower atopic sensitization and asthma in childhood (Publications)
BACKGROUND: European cross-sectional studies have suggested that prenatal and postnatal farm exposure decreases the risk of allergic diseases in childhood. Underlying immunologic mechanisms are still

Histone methyltransferase inhibitors are orally bioavailable, fast acting molecules with activity against different species causing malaria in humans (Publications)
Current antimalarials are under continuous threat due to the relentless development of drug resistance by malaria parasites. We previously reported promising in vitro parasite killing activity with th
Consumption of unprocessed cow's milk protects infants from common respiratory infections (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Breast-feeding is protective against respiratory infections in early life. Given the co-evolutionary adaptations of humans and cattle, bovine milk might exert similar anti-infective effect
