A comparison of methods to detect and quantify the markers of antimalarial drug resistance (Publications)
We compare, contrast, and evaluate methods to quantify genetic markers of antimalarial drug resistance. Frequency estimates should be reported along with crude prevalence. There are four main potentia
Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 5'-diphenyl nucleoside analogues as inhibitors of the <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> dUTPase (Publications)
Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) is a potential drug target for malaria. We previously reported some 5'-tritylated deoxyuridine analogues (both cyclic and acyclic) as selecti
The EXPOLIS study: implications for exposure research and environmental policy in Europe (Publications)
