Translation of a Human‐Based Malaria‐on‐a‐Chip Phenotypic Disease Model for In Vivo Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inoculation of the Malaria‐on‐a‐Chip model with human erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum can support the entire intraerythrocytic lifecycle for 7 days in vitro. Utilizing this human‐based, serum‐free model provides an alternative to animal testing by introducing a human‐based, preclinical alternative for antimalarial therapeutic delivery.

Childhood pneumonia diagnostics: community health workers’ and national stakeholders’ differing perspectives of new and existing aids

Global Health Action, 2017
Background: Pneumonia heavily contributes to global under-five mortality. Many countries use community case management to detect and treat childhood pneumonia. Community health workers (CHWs) have limited tools to help them assess signs of pneumonia. New
