Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Antje Blumenthal (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Jennifer Stow

Brief description Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health threat that causes 1.5 million deaths every year. This study will characterise a new molecular control mechanism that optimises the immune response to the bacteria that cause TB and determine how it contributes to controlling the infection. Such knowledge is essential to help improve patient management and develop better treatments for this devastating disease.
