Evaluation of the ERA5 reanalysis-based universal thermal climate index on mortality data in Europe (Publications)
Air temperature has been the most commonly used exposure metric in assessing relationships between thermal stress and mortality. Lack of the high-quality meteorological station data necessary to adequ
Insured clients out-of-pocket payments for health care under the national health insurance scheme in Ghana (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In 2003, Ghana implemented a National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) designed to promote universal health coverage and equitable access to health care. The scheme has largely been successf
Longitudinal study based on a safety registry for malaria patients treated with artenimol-piperaquine in six European countries (Publications)
BACKGROUND: European travellers to endemic countries are at risk of malaria and may be affected by a different range of co-morbidities than natives of endemic regions. The safety profile, especially c
Assessment of the rules related to gaining activity against gram-negative bacteria (Publications)
In the search for new antibacterial compounds, we repositioned an antimalarial compound class by derivatising it based on the so-called "eNTRy" rules for enhanced accumulation into Gram-negative bacte
Wastewater monitoring outperforms case numbers as a tool to track COVID-19 incidence dynamics when test positivity rates are high (Publications)
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been shown to coincide with, or anticipate, confirmed COVID-19 case numbers. During periods with high test positivity rates, however, case numbers may be underr
Short-term effects of national-level natural resource rents on life expectancy: a cross-country panel data analysis (Publications)
