Care seeking and treatment of febrile children with and without danger signs of severe disease in northern Uganda: results from three household... (Publications)
Identification, stabilization, and prompt referral of children with signs of severe febrile disease (danger signs) in rural communities are crucial for preventing complications and death from severe m
Putative biomarkers of environmental enteric disease fail to correlate in a cross-sectional study in two study sites in Sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is an elusive, inflammatory syndrome of the small intestine thought to be associated with enterocyte loss and gut leakiness and lead to stunted child growth. To
The communication chain of genetic risk: analyses of narrative data exploring proband-provider and proband-family communication in hereditary breast... (Publications)
Low uptake of genetic services among members of families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) suggests limitations of proband-mediated communication of genetic risk. This study explored ho
A tiered approach for assessing individual and combined risk of pyrethroids using human biomonitoring data (Publications)
Pyrethroids are a major insecticide class, suitable for biomonitoring in humans. Due to similarities in structure and metabolic pathways, urinary metabolites are common to various active substances. A
The impact of reactive case detection on malaria transmission in Zanzibar in the presence of human mobility (Publications)
Malaria persists at low levels on Zanzibar despite the use of vector control and case management. We use a metapopulation model to investigate the role of human mobility in malaria persistence on Zanz
Wastewater reveals the spatiotemporal spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the Canton of Ticino (Switzerland) during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (Publications)
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as an effective tool for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we add a spatial component to WBE and use it to investigate
Genome-wide analyses identify <em>SCN5A</em> as a susceptibility locus for premature atrial contraction frequency (Publications)
Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are frequently observed on electrocardiograms and are associated with increased risks of atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and mortality. In this study, we aimed t
MEMO: mass spectrometry-based sample vectorization to explore chemodiverse datasets (Publications)
In natural products research, chemodiverse extracts coming from multiple organisms are explored for novel bioactive molecules, sometimes over extended periods. Samples are usually analyzed by liquid c
