Can ChatGPT help analyse public health data? A new study by Swiss TPH explored this question through a randomised controlled trial with students and researchers, using ChatGPT to conduct an epidemiological data analysis as a tool or an addition to R/Stata.

The autumn semester @unibas.ch is about to start and we are looking forward to welcoming 25 new PhD and 62 new MSc students at @swisstph.ch. About 1/2 of our students are from abroad, many from the Global South, creating a unique diverse atmosphere and many opportunities to learn from each other! 🌍🤗

The Biomolecular Screening Facility has contributed to a successful collaborative study led by Till Voss (Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, University of Basel), resulting in the development of a robust, all in one pipeline for the discovery and testing of transmission blocking drugs against Plasmodium falciparum. This multidisciplinary effort combines a high-throughput in vitro assay with a novel in vivo model, enabling systematic evaluation of compounds that target mature stage V gametocytes - the only forms of the parasite that infect mosquitoes.

Current antimalarials often fail to target mature stage V gametocytes. To aid antimalarial drug discovery, the authors present a preclinical malaria transmission-blocking drug research platform, using engineered parasites, that facilitates the screening for gametocytocidal compounds in vitro and the evaluation of transmission-blocking drug activity in vivo.
