Immuno-gold silver staining assays on capillary-driven microfluidics for the detection of malaria antigens (Publications)
Accurate and affordable rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are indispensable but often lacking for many infectious diseases. Specifically, there is a lack of highly sensitive malaria RDTs that can detect l
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new 1-(Aryl-1<em>H</em>-pyrrolyl)(phenyl)methyl-1<em>H</em>-imidazole derivatives as antiprotozoal... (Publications)
We have designed and synthesized a series of new imidazole-based compounds structurally related to an antiprotozoal agent with nanomolar activity which we identified recently. The new analogs possess
New genetic signals for lung function highlight pathways and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease associations across multiple ancestries (Publications)
Reduced lung function predicts mortality and is key to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a genome-wide association study in 400,102 individuals of European ancestry, we
Evaluating next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods for routine monitoring of wild bees: metabarcoding, mitogenomics or NGS barcoding (Publications)
Implementing cost-effective monitoring programs for wild bees remains challenging due to the high costs of sampling and specimen identification. To reduce costs, next generation sequencing (NGS)-based
Spatial variability in air pollution exposure in relation to socioeconomic indicators in nine European metropolitan areas: a study on environmental... (Publications)
A limited number of studies have addressed environmental inequality, using various study designs and methodologies and often reaching contradictory results. Following a standardized multi-city data co
Reference set of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>clinical strains: a tool for research and product development (Publications)
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) causes tuberculosis (TB) in humans and various other mammals. The human-adapted members of the MTBC comprise seven phylogenetic lineages that differ in th
Detection of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infected <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> using near‑infrared spectroscopy (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Large-scale surveillance of mosquito populations is crucial to assess the intensity of vector-borne disease transmission and the impact of control interventions. However, there is a lack o
