Modifications and hybrids of 1,2,3,4‑tetrahydropyridinium salts and their antiprotozoal potencies (Publications)
The antiprotozoal activity of 1-benzyltetrahydropyridin-4-yliden iminium salts is reported. This paper describes the preparation of a series of analogs from dihydropyridines or dihydrothiopyrans as ed
Teaching and learning for change: analysis of a post‑graduate One Health program (Publications)
As problematized through the One Health concept, global health issues are defeating conventional disciplinary approaches since they unfold across various scientific domains and across all levels of so
Time to scale up molecular surveillance for anti-malarial drug resistance in sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
Artemisinin resistance has emerged and spread in the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS), followed by artemisinin-based combination therapy failure, due to both artemisinin and partner drug resistance. Mo
Estimating intervention effectiveness in trials of malaria interventions with contamination (Publications)
Background In cluster randomized trials (CRTs) or stepped wedge cluster randomized trials (SWCRTs) of malaria interventions, mosquito movement leads to contamination between trial arms unless buffer z
The additive effect of interpregnancy interval and maternal body mass index on pregnancy induced hypertension in the U.S (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: The incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), one of the most frequent causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity, has increased significantly in the U.S. in last two decades. Howe
Evaluating different storage media for identification of <em>Taenia saginata</em> proglottids using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (Publications)
Taenia saginata is a helminth that can cause taeniasis in humans and cysticercosis in cattle. A species-specific diagnosis and differentiation from related species (e.g., Taenia solium) is crucial for
Extracellular matrix-induced GM-CSF and hypoxia promote immune control of<em> Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>in human <em>in vitro</em> granulomas (Publications)
Several in vitro cellular models have been developed with the aim to reproduce and dissect human granulomatous responses, the hallmark of tuberculosis (TB) immunopathogenesis. In that context, we comp
Early life adversity, biological adaptation, and human capital: evidence from an interrupted malaria control program in Zambia (Publications)
Growing evidence from evolutionary biology demonstrates how early life shocks trigger physiological changes designed to be adaptive in challenging environments. We examine the implications of one type
