The TBScience2018, an official pre-conference event is entirely devoted to basic and translational TB research.
For the first time, TBScience2018 will bring together scientists from microbiology, immunology, molecular biology, pharmacology, epidemiology and mathematical modelling to present and discuss recent findings on TB transmission, infection and disease. Additional focus will also be given to the development of better vaccines, new drugs and efficient but effective diagnostics for TB, and methodological challenges to determining the burden of TB disease at the subnational level.
TBScience2018 is organised by The Union in proud partnership with the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organisation (WHO), the KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation, the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development (AIGHD), TB Surveillance and Research Unit (TSRU) and the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) .
