Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation in newborns and children identifies numerous loci related to gestational age (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Preterm birth and shorter duration of pregnancy are associated with increased morbidity in neonatal and later life. As the epigenome is known to have an important role during fetal develop
Ensemble modeling highlights importance of understanding parasite-host behavior in preclinical antimalarial drug development (Publications)
Emerging drug resistance and high-attrition rates in early and late stage drug development necessitate accelerated development of antimalarial compounds. However, systematic and meaningful translation
