Steatotic liver disease among lean and non-lean individuals in Southern Lao PDR: a cross-sectional study of risk factors (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Steatotic liver disease (SLD) prevalence is rising worldwide, linked to insulin resistance and obesity. SLD prevalence can surpass 10% even among those with normal weight. In Lao People's
Sanitation in urban areas may limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance via flies (Publications)
Synanthropic filth flies are common where sanitation is poor and fecal wastes are accessible to them. These flies have been proposed as mechanical vectors for the localized transport of fecal microbes
Effectiveness and acceptance of group therapy as a mental health intervention for people living with HIV in Africa - a scoping literature review (Publications)

Structure-activity relationship and target investigation of 2-aryl quinolines with nematocidal activity (Publications)
Within the context of our anthelmintic discovery program, we recently identified and evaluated a quinoline derivative, called ABX464 or obefazimod, as a nematocidal candidate; synthesised a series of
