An interactive application for malaria elimination transmission and costing in the Asia-Pacific (Publications)
Leaders in the Asia-Pacific have endorsed an ambitious target to eliminate malaria in the region by 2030. The emergence and spread of artemisinin drug resistance in the Greater Mekong Subregion makes [...] elimination urgent and strategic for the global goal of malaria eradication. Mathematical modelling is a useful tool for assessing and comparing different elimination strategies and scenarios to inform [...] and developed an interactive application to disseminate the modelling results for...

Development of novel strategies to fill the empty drug pipeline for schistosomiasis: from drug sensitivity assay development to preclinical studies (Publications)
sanitation and unawareness of the general population are the main reasons for the transmission of schistosomiasis. The first symptoms of the disease are red bumps on the skin, usually appearing a few hours [...] emergence among the handful of laboratories involved in the fight against this neglected tropical disease (NTD). The research of novel compounds moves slowly and one of the main reasons for this is the difficulty [...] big underestimation. While the disease is endemic in 78 countries and...
