Beyond the scope of this contest, InTB aims to catalog and promote groundbreaking work in TB diagnosis, control, and treatment. We look forward to seeing more TB Innovations!
“We are beginning to see the winds of change, but what we really need is a storm. It is imperative that we transform the way we diagnose, treat, prevent, and control TB — through biomedical research and public health measures…” Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
