The air and viruses we breathe: assessing the effect the PM2.5 air pollutant has on the burden of COVID-19 (Publications)
Evidence suggests an association between air pollutant exposure and worse outcomes for respiratory viral diseases, like COVID-19. However, does breathing polluted air over many years affect the suscep
Health service quality in 2929 facilities in six low-income and middle-income countries: a positive deviance analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Primary care is of insufficient quality in many low-income and middle-income countries. Some health facilities perform better than others despite operating in similar contexts, although th
Antibody and B cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination (Publications)
Antibodies, and the B cell and plasma cell populations responsible for their production, are key components of the human immune system's response to SARS-CoV-2, which has caused the coronavirus diseas
Human B cell clonal expansion and convergent antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 (Publications)
B cells are critical for the production of antibodies and protective immunity to viruses. Here we show that patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) who deve
Socioeconomic inequalities in cervical precancer screening among women in Ethiopia, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe: analysis of... (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: We examined age, residence, education and wealth inequalities and their combinations on cervical precancer screening probabilities for women. We hypothesised that inequalities in screening
Residential greenspace and lung function decline over 20 years in a prospective cohort: the ECRHS study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The few studies that have examined associations between greenspace and lung function in adulthood have yielded conflicting results and none have examined whether the rate of lung function
The MTego trap: a potential tool for monitoring malaria and arbovirus vectors (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Odour-baited traps are useful for vector surveillance and control. However, most existing traps have shown inconsistent recapture rates across different mosquito species, necessitating the
Mortality attributable to ambient fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide in Switzerland in 2019: use of two-pollutant effect estimates (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Air pollution health risk assessments have traditionally used single-pollutant effect estimates for one proxy ambient air pollutant such as PM(2.5). Two-pollutant effect estimates, i.e.
