Determining important parameters in the spread of malaria through the sensitivity analysis of a mathematical model (Publications)
We perform sensitivity analyses on a mathematical model of malaria transmission to determine the relative importance of model parameters to disease transmission and prevalence. We compile two sets of
Influence of HIV-related immunodeficiency on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate HIV-related immunodeficiency as a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among persons infected with HIV, while controlling for the effect of frequent coinfection wit
Intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in infants: a decision-support tool for sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To develop a decision-support tool to help policy-makers in sub-Saharan Africa assess whether intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) would be effective for local malaria contro
Privileged structure-guided synthesis of quinazoline derivatives as inhibitors of trypanothione reductase (Publications)
Novel quinazoline-type compounds were designed as inhibitors of the parasite specific enzyme trypanothione reductase (TR), and their biological activities were evaluated. Some of our compounds inhibit
Manadoperoxides, a new class of potent antitrypanosomal agents of marine origin (Publications)
Chemical investigation of the marine sponge Plakortis cfr. lita afforded a library of endoperoxyketal polyketides, manadoperoxides B-K (3-5 and 7-13) and peroxyplakoric esters B(3) (6) and C (14). Eig
