Buruli ulcer transmission and the philosophy of science
Buruli ulcer is a 'flesh-eating' bacterial infection of skin and soft tissue. Since the discovery in the 1940s of the causative agent Mycobacterium ulcerans, scientists have puzzled over how the infection is spread from the environment to humans.
Precision Prediction for CVD Risk in T2D
Launching a groundbreaking systematic review, our international team of experts embarked on a mission to redefine cardiovascular risk prediction in type 2 diabetes, exploring new biomarkers and genetic markers beyond traditional factors.
A Grand Challenge
Stapled α-helical peptides, can bind to and modulate therapeutic targets that have been historically out of reach with traditional modalities. However, it has been challenging to design stapled peptides that have both good cell permeability and behave well. Our team aimed to address this challenge.
