Outcome of radioiodine therapy without, on or 3 days off carbimazole: a prospective interventional three-group comparison (Publications)
PURPOSE: Carbimazole ameliorates hyperthyroidism but reduces radioiodine uptake and adversely affects the outcome of simultaneous radioiodine therapy. We explored whether withdrawal of carbimazole for
Evaluation of methods for modeling transcription factor sequence specificity (Publications)
Genomic analyses often involve scanning for potential transcription factor (TF) binding sites using models of the sequence specificity of DNA binding proteins. Many approaches have been developed to m
Bayesian geostatistical modelling for mapping schistosomiasis transmission (Publications)
Progress has been made in mapping and predicting the risk of schistosomiasis using Bayesian geostatistical inference. Applications primarily focused on risk profiling of prevalence rather than infecti
