Design of a targeted blood transcriptional panel for monitoring immunological changes accompanying pregnancy (Publications)
Background: Immunomodulatory processes exert steering functions throughout pregnancy. Detecting diversions from this physiologic immune clock may help identify pregnant women at risk for pregnancy-ass
Monthly average air pollution models using geographically weighted regression in Europe from 2000 to 2019 (Publications)
Detailed spatial models of monthly air pollution levels at a very fine spatial resolution (25 m) can help facilitate studies to explore critical time-windows of exposure at intermediate term. Seasonal
Seasonality of mortality under climate change: a multicountry projection study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Climate change can directly impact temperature-related excess deaths and might subsequently change the seasonal variation in mortality. In this study, we aimed to provide a systematic and
