Western European land use regression incorporating satellite- and ground-based measurements of NO2 and PM10 (Publications)
Land use regression (LUR) models typically investigate within-urban variability in air pollution. Recent improvements in data quality and availability, including satellite-derived pollutant measuremen
Genome-wide association study identifies five loci associated with lung function (Publications)
Pulmonary function measures are heritable traits that predict morbidity and mortality and define chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested genome-wide association with forced expiratory
The influence of HIV on the evolution of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
HIV significantly affects the immunological environment during tuberculosis co-infection, and therefore may influence the selective landscape upon which M. tuberculosis evolves. To test this hypothesi
Genome-wide interaction analysis of air pollution exposure and childhood asthma with functional follow-up (Publications)
RATIONALE: The evidence supporting an association between traffic-related air pollution exposure and incident childhood asthma is inconsistent, and may depend on genetic factors. OBJECTIVES: To identi
Efficacy and safety of praziquantel against light infections of <em>Opisthorchis viverrini</em>: a randomised parallel single blind dose-ranging trial (Publications)
