Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Human fetal whole body post-mortem microfocus computed tomographic imaging
Pregnancy loss is a devastating event and whilst conventional autopsy techniques can provide parents with answers as to the cause of their loss, many decline due to its invasive nature. We describe micro-CT as an alternative to conventional autopsy and why this is more acceptable to parents.
Operationalizing genomic epidemiology during the Nord Kivu Ebola outbreak, Democratic Republic of Congo
In July 2018, the National Biomedical Research Institute (INRB), in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), set up a pathogen genomics laboratory which allowed us to confirm epidemics of Ebola Virus Disease in the country and to establish epidemiological links between confirmed cases (1-3).
