📜 I'm delighted to share our most recent open-source manuscript in The Union describing our experience of working with #TB practitioners to improve the care of people with drug-resistant #tuberculosis in Europe. doi.org/10.5588/ijtldo… WHO/Europe Karolinska Institutet

Very happy to receive some Easter gifts from Karolinska Institutet - not chocolates this time but some new devices for detecting aerosolised #TB. Looking forward to testing them in our clinics and aerosol chambers! To #EndTB we must learn how to interrupt transmission! END TB TRANSMISSION INITIATIVE (ETTi)

A great day out hiking with the family around #LionsHead and #Signal Hill in #CapeTown. Too sunny for colour, so an infra-red panorama with Camps Bay, #TableMountain and the City of Cape Town. What a stunning city!!

New work in The Lancet Global Health showing how improvements to TB treatment regimens could offset higher drug costs by improving care and reducing costs for patients and health systems: bit.ly/3yyHRmI. Work was led by Tess Ryckman and informed WHO's target TB regimen profiles.

The MSF International decision to close MSF Access is heartbreaking. I used to work closely with MSF Access and saw the incredibly durable impact they had for the most vulnerable. It seems I'm not the only one who's shocked unitaid.org/assets/Open-le… carole mitnick Partners In Health Treatment Action Group (TAG) Unitaid

📢 We are deeply saddened by the news of MSF Access potentially closing. For over 25 years, this campaign has been crucial in making essential health products affordable and available for all. We urge MSF International to reconsider this decision. Read our open letter:finddx.org/publications-a…

Do I know any mycobacterial lab managers? I've started looking at #Xpert machine CSV reports and find them hard to analyse. Do you know of any tools for reformatting or analysing these reports? #tuberculosis #bsl3 #lab

Could blood transcriptional profiles predict #TB aerosol detection? Optimising aerosol #research and linking it to transmission is a key step to targeting preventive interventions better #EndTB nature.com/articles/s4146…
