Well done to Lindsay and Eik for representing the ERA4TB consortium!

Lindsay and Eik also jumped in to present the poster of Diana Angelica Aguilar Ayala (Universidad de Zaragoza) of the joint work of several WP2 teams on: “Impact assessment of inoculum size and recent modifications on the EUCAST reference method for MIC determination of anti-tuberculosis drugs”.

Lindsay presented the work of her and her colleagues on: “Developing reliable EUCAST microtiter broth assays for novel drugs targeting metabolic pathways of Mycobacterium tuberculosis”.

ERA4TB Work Package 2 members Lindsay Sonnenkalb (Forschungszentrum Borstel, Leibniz Lungenzentrum) and Eik Hoffmann (Institut Pasteur de Lille), are attending the ESCMID - European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Global Congress 2026.

On 22nd January 2026, ERA4TB partners from @nicecomms.bsky.social and Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche hosted a webinar on "Modelling the Future: Early-Phase Development and HTA Insights from TBAJ-587".

The recording is now available to view via the ERA4TB website: era4tb.org/video-library/.

As we come to the end of 2025, ERA4TB would like to take this opportunity to wish all our partners, collaborators and followers a wonderful holiday season.

We look forward to continuing our mission of developing new treatment regimens for Tuberculosis in 2026!

In this latest study under @era4tb.bsky.social, researchers adopted physiologically‑based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling and used a detailed computational model to project what those concentrations likely are in human lungs (both healthy and TB-infected).

Colleagues from @unizar.es and Università di Pavia also met up with Natalya Serbina from @tballiance.bsky.social Alliance and Khisi Mdluli from The Gates Foundation.

Well done to our consortium members!

Giovanni Stelitano (also from, Università di Pavia) presented his own unmoderated e-poster session, on "Mycobacterium tuberculosis Tryptophan Synthase as a target for novel antitubercular drugs".

This week, we shall find out what else our consortium members got up to during the conference!

Università di Pavia's Deborah Recchia, hosted an unmoderated e-poster session on "Investigating the Impact of Inoculum Size on EUCAST Methodology for MIC Mycobacterium tuberculosis determinations".

A thread 🧵

We have more updates from ERA4TB consortium members who attended The Union World Conference on Lung Health 2025.

Last week, we heard from our Universidad de Zaragoza colleagues Lara Muñoz-Muñoz, Jordana Galizia, and Marie Sylvianne Radoarivelo who each hosted e-poster sessions.

Well done to Jordana, Marie Sylvianne and Lara!

If you are interested in learning more about the above three e-poster presentations; please feel free to contact the mentioned colleagues.

We will providing more updates from ERA4TB in the coming days!

Lara Muñoz-Muñoz (UNIZAR) presented an e-poster presentation on "The impact of phylogenetic lineage on the drug susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis".

Marie Sylvianne Rabodoarivelo presented an e-poster presentation on "In vitro characterization of GSK2556286 activity in combination with Bedaquiline and Pretomanid against M. tuberculosis"

Jordana Galizia, PhD (UNIZAR), presented an e-poster presentation on "Assessing the translational value of in vitro time-kill assays in TB drug regimens development".

A thread 🧵

ERA4TB consortium members from Università di Pavia, @unizar.es and the @tballiance.bsky.social Alliance attended The Union World Conference on Lung Health (2025) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Three of our colleagues, from @unizar.es, hosted e-poster presentations for conference attendees.

Fernando Sanz García, from @unizar.es, presented a poster on “An assay toolkit for anti-tuberculosis drugs in the hollow-fiber system”.

The poster informed readers, how key optimization tests that the hollow-fibre system, should require to allow reproducibility and robustness in its results.

From the 6th October 2025 to 7th October 2025, ERA4TB consortium members from @unizar.es, @uc3m.es and @pasteurlille.bsky.social attended MYCOVLC 2025. This annual gathering of Mycobacteria-focused laboratories, based in Spain, took place at CaixaForum in Valencia.

Our latest research under @era4tb.bsky.social, highlights that small adjustments in the hollow fiber assays better reflects how TB drugs really perform.

Learn more through a webinar on 21 October 2025.

After a fun round of memory games, contestants were awarded with stickers, featuring the ERA4TB logo.

Well done Deborah Recchia, Maria Rosalia Pasca and the rest of our colleagues on creating such a fun and interactive experience!

The team created a poster, featuring Alessandro Stamilla in cartoon form. Using terminology tailored for a younger audience, the poster explained what the ERA4TB project is and its goal for defeating Tuberculosis (TB).

Some exciting news!

#ERA4TB Consortium Members from University of Pavia, hosted an interactive stand at Sharper Night - European Researchers' Night (2025).
