Safely managed hygiene: a risk-based assessment of handwashing water quality (Publications)
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 6.2.1 requires household handwashing facilities to have soap and water, but there are no guidelines for handwashing water quality. In contrast, drinking wa
Hemozoin-catalyzed precipitation polymerization as an assay for malaria diagnosis (Publications)
Methods to diagnose malaria are of paramount interest to eradicate the disease. Current methods have severe limitations, as they are either costly or not sensitive enough to detect low levels of paras
Non-destructive imaging of internal structures of a mosquito with sub-micrometer resolution (Publications)
Inline X-ray phase tomography has emerged as one of the most suitable imaging techniques for the three-dimensional examination of soft tissue at the microscopic level. Historically, this method was co
Comparison of fine-scale malaria strata derived from population survey data collected using RDTs, microscopy and qPCR in south-eastern Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria-endemic countries are increasingly adopting data-driven risk stratification, often at district or higher regional levels, to guide their intervention strategies. The data typically
Swiss science diplomacy: exploring strategies, instruments, current priorities, and the role of international development cooperation (Publications)
