#tuberculosis #worldtbday Yes! We can end TB!

Really glad to contribute to this inportant work: New definitions for early #tuberculosis . The Lancet Respiratory Medicine

Our understanding of early TB is improving and new case definitions will help improve care, prevention, and research.

Ahead of #WorldTBDay24 , Anurag Bhargava, Madhavi Bhargava and I write about need for both biomedical & social solutions to end TB

The world will soon know whether BCG revax prevents TB infection

Critical. But what we really need to know is whether it prevents disease

'Run a Ph 3 PoD trial' I hear you say

Spot on, but no-one will pay for it

So what do to?

Thoughts in Lancet RM: t.ly/rHxcI

Our paper estimating the infectiousness of subclinical tuberculosis and its contribution to transmission has now been published in elife.

Come join us for a #PhD at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine with Richard White, Tom Sumner, & Rebecca Clark 🎉

Help countries decide if and how they would introduce a new vaccine against #TB using mathematical modelling 🧮🧫

Deadline to apply is 23:59 (GMT) on 16 January 2024

Great to see this thought piece out! For so many TB drugs DST is still not widely available - to support clinicians, policymakers must provide pragmatic treatment recommendations for situations where resistance profile is unknown. So what should they do?

Who knew a meet up of TB modellers could be so much fun!

Such a wonderful bunch of bright, open and friendly folks, dedicated to ending TB

I'd be willing to bet that some new collaborations were formed.

Thanks to BMGF for funding

Could not have hoped for better results from the study of M72 in people living with HIV.

Safely good, and immune response similar to HIV uninfected people.

Great presentation from Linda Han from Gates MRI

Exciting to see this paper led by Katherine Horton out today in PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…! Putting years of work together to quantify the potential pathways people take following Mtb infection. Self-clearance, undulation, subclinical disease, something there for everyone. Enjoy!

1/ 📢 New paper! Comparing time since migration🏡 and time since recent travel✈️ suggests that #TB development in migrants is consistent with recent infection during travel. doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci… LSHTM TB Modelling Group LSHTM TB Centre CMMID Inst. de Medicina Tropical Alexander von Humboldt
A short 🧵

Happening today! 👇🏻

How can we improve the quality of Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)'s Global Burden of Disease #tuberculosis estimates?

doi.org/10.1093/ije/dy…

A massive amount of work from an Expert Panel, with input from IHME.

It boils down to 4 key recommendations.

Let's unpack them a little...

Privileged to work with Richard White Finn McQuaid David Dowdy Ibrahim Abubakar Rein Houben & others thinking about GBD TB estimates

Fantastic news that the high level #TB Vaccine Accelerator Council has convened.
Congrats to World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and all, for getting this off the ground so successfully.
Really important role over the next few years aligning funders, governments, etc on TB vaccine development....

Results from modelling new #TB vaccines in Delhi and Gujarat are now available from medRxiv! 🇮🇳👇

Our intervention sadly not selected here @ #UNHLMTB , so we're sharing it here instead. We want to highlight importance of undernutrition to TB
