Structure-activity relationship and target investigation of 2-aryl quinolines with nematocidal activity (Publications)
Within the context of our anthelmintic discovery program, we recently identified and evaluated a quinoline derivative, called ABX464 or obefazimod, as a nematocidal candidate; synthesised a series of
A critical evaluation of parametric models for predicting faecal indicator bacteria concentrations in greywater (Publications)
Greywater reuse is a strategy to address water scarcity, necessitating the selection of treatment processes that balance cost-efficiency and human health risks. A key aspect in evaluating these risks
