Special considerations for studies of extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths: a community-led roadmap to increase rigour and reproducibility (Publications)
Over the last decade, research interest in defining how extracellular vesicles (EVs) shape cross-species communication has grown rapidly. Parasitic helminths, worm species found in the phyla Nematoda
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a long versus a short biliopancreatic limb improves weight loss and glycemic control in obese mice (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) results in long-term weight loss and reduced obesity related co-morbidities. However, little is known about how the lengths of the biliopancreatic limb (BPL

Recent advances and potential future applications of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for identification of helminths (Publications)
Helminth infections caused by nematodes, trematodes, and cestodes are major neglected tropical diseases and of great medical and veterinary relevance. At present, diagnosis of helminthic diseases is m
Infection tracking in travellers using a mobile app (ITIT): the pilot study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Current surveillance of travellers' health captures only a small proportion of illness events. We aimed to evaluate the usability and feasibility of using an app to enable travellers to se
