Gender differences in the association between life history of body silhouettes and asthma incidence: results from the SAPALDIA cohort study (Publications)
Background: The association of obesity and asthma has been described in children and adults. However, whether a different life course of weight in men and women may explain gender differences in asthm
Measuring mobility, disease connectivity and individual risk: a review of using mobile phone data and mHealth for travel medicine (Publications)
RATIONALE FOR REVIEW: The increasing mobility of populations allows pathogens to move rapidly and far, making endemic or epidemic regions more connected to the rest of the world than at any time in hi
Epidemiological links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension: findings from a population-based survey in rural Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Although potential links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension have been hypothesized, there is paucity of epidemiologic evidence on this link. We investigated in a population-base

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
Safely managed hygiene: a risk-based assessment of handwashing water quality (Publications)
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 6.2.1 requires household handwashing facilities to have soap and water, but there are no guidelines for handwashing water quality. In contrast, drinking wa
