Lab-on-chip based platform for fast molecular diagnosis of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (Publications)
We evaluated the performance of the molecular lab-on-chip-based VerePLEX Biosystem for detection of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, obtaining diagnostic accuracy over 97.8% compared to sequencing a
Back-extrapolated and year-specific NO land use regression models for Great Britain - Do they yield different exposure assessment? (Publications)
Robust methods to estimate historic population air pollution exposures are important tools for epidemiological studies evaluating long-term health effects. We developed land use regression (LUR) model
Effects of breastfeeding on respiratory symptoms in infancy (Publications)
