Non-stationary partition modeling of geostatistical data for malaria risk mapping (Publications)
The most common assumption in geostatistical modeling of malaria is stationarity, that is spatial correlation is a function of the separation vector between locations. However, local factors (environm
Malaria: burden of disease (Publications)
Despite more than 100 years since Laveran described plasmodium species and Ross confirmed that they were transmitted by female anopheline mosquitoes, malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and m

Unique modifications of translation elongation factors (Publications)
Covalent modifications of proteins often modulate their biological functions or change their subcellular location. Among the many known protein modifications, three are exceptional in that they only o
Engineered synthetic virus-like particles and their use in vaccine delivery (Publications)
Engineered nanoparticles have been designed based on the self-assembling properties of synthetic coiled-coil lipopeptide building blocks. The presence of an isoleucine zipper within the lipopeptide to
