A practical, WHO‑aligned guide to pooled TB testing — developed with eight partners across seven high TB burden countries and funded by Unitaid. Launched yesterday at #ASLM!
#Start4All #EndTB
A new pooled TB testing toolkit will help healthcare providers to reach the ‘missed millions’ who go undiagnosed with the disease each year.

It’s World TB Day and we are so grateful for the support We Are TB and Somos TB has received over the years from our partners in the fight against tuberculosis. We affirm our dedication and solidarity with people fighting this disease everywhere. Yes we can! #EndTB
Well done all teams - really important findings. Well done Dr Stacy Ross and team at Royal Liverpool amongst many others!
Today is World TB Day.
Last month, we revealed how research from the LSTM-led Start4All project helped to shape new WHO guidelines on pooled TB testing.

LSTM’s Dr Tom Wingfield and Fatima Karmadwala delivered their talk, 'Fighting Poverty and Stigma to Defeat TB', to mark World TB Day.
Last presented during last year's British Science Festival, the talk explored how TB continues to be a major global health challenge.
I've made a website for clinically relevant infection research:

It's in its early days but it has summaries of recent infection papers that caught my eye, an OpenAlex feed of recent infection papers from high impact journal and a resources section

This #WorldTBday is a honour to be in Blantyre, Malawi, where we kicked off recruitment into the @wellcometrust.bsky.social funded ZAMSA-TB study.
The team are developing new epidemiological methods to measure future vaccine effectiveness in the community.
