Classifying recurrent <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>cases in Georgia using MIRU-VNTR typing (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Recurrent tuberculosis (TB) is one of the main challenges in TB control. Genotyping based on Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units-Variable Tandem Repeats (MIRU-VNTR) has been wide
Flexible 3D cell-based platforms for the discovery and profiling of novel drugs targeting <em>Plasmodium</em> hepatic infection (Publications)
The restricted pipeline of drugs targeting the liver stage of Plasmodium infection reflects the scarcity of cell models that mimic the human hepatic phenotype and drug metabolism, as well as Plasmodiu
The PHIST protein GEXP02 targets the host cytoskeleton during sexual development of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
A hallmark of the biology of Plasmodium falciparum blood stage parasites is their extensive host cell remodeling, facilitated by parasite proteins that are exported into the erythrocyte. Although this
Human biomonitoring as a tool for exposure assessment in industrially contaminated sites (ICSs). Lessons learned within the ICS and Health European... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: the mixed and complex nature of industrially contaminated sites (ICSs) leads to heterogeneity in exposure and health risk of residents living nearby. Health, environment, and social aspect
Geographical variations of the associations between health interventions and all-cause under-five mortality in Uganda (Publications)
BACKGROUND: To reduce the under-five mortality (U5M), fine-gained spatial assessment of the effects of health interventions is critical because national averages can obscure important sub-national dis
Amplicon deep sequencing improves <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> genotyping in clinical trials of antimalarial drugs (Publications)
Clinical trials monitoring malaria drug resistance require genotyping of recurrent Plasmodium falciparum parasites to distinguish between treatment failure and new infection occurring during the trial
Engagement in care, viral suppression, drug resistance and reasons for non-engagement after home-based same-day ART initiation in Lesotho: a two-year... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The CASCADE trial showed that compared to usual care (UC), offering same-day (SD) ART during home-based HIV testing improved engagement in care and viral suppression 12 months after diagno
