Little is known about the presence of vector-borne bacteria in southwest Madagascar. Anthropogenic alteration of natural habitats represents an important driver for the emergence of new diseases. Espe
Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation in newborns and children identifies numerous loci related to gestational age (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Preterm birth and shorter duration of pregnancy are associated with increased morbidity in neonatal and later life. As the epigenome is known to have an important role during fetal develop
Ensemble modeling highlights importance of understanding parasite-host behavior in preclinical antimalarial drug development (Publications)
Emerging drug resistance and high-attrition rates in early and late stage drug development necessitate accelerated development of antimalarial compounds. However, systematic and meaningful translation
Ultradian modulation of cortical arousals during sleep: effects of age and exposure to nighttime transportation noise (Publications)
STUDY OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed at assessing the temporal non-rapid eye movement (NREM) EEG arousal distribution within and across sleep cycles and its modifications with aging and nighttime
Concurrently measured concentrations of atmospheric mercury in indoor (household) and outdoor air of Basel, Switzerland (Publications)
Indoor air pollution can be a major health risk because urban populations spend up to 90% of their time in closed rooms. Gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) has not been measured as routinely as other ind
