The aim of my 4-year research project is to identify one or several antischistosomal drug development candidates targeting the haemoglobin degradation pathway and/or other mechanisms with favourable p
More responsive immunization services through tailoring for hard-to-reach populations in Chad (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/project-detail/project/more-responsive-immunization-services-through-tailoring-for-hard-to-reach-populations-in-chad
The main goal of the study is to identify potential strategies to tailor immunization services to reach nomadic communities in Chad. The objectives of our study are: (i) To assess the feasibility and
Efficacy and safety of moxidectin plus albendazole, moxidectin plus tribendimidine, albendazole plus oxantel pamoate and moxidectin alone against... (Projects)

The recommended anthelmintics show low efficacy in a single-dose regimen against Trichuris trichiura. Moxidectin, a new treatment for river blindness, might complement the drug armamentarium for the t
Infected body on a chip”: Microfluidic impedance platform for antischistosomal drug discovery (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/project-detail/project/infected-body-on-a-chip-microfluidic-impedance-platform-for-antischistosomal-drug-discovery
Many new methods in drug discovery originate from the field of microfluidics, which also include innovative methods to monitor the status of cells or tissues by means of electric impedance spectroscop
Investigating the increasing trend of EHEC notifications in Swiss surveillance data (Projects)
