Looking forward to seeing you at TBScience next week for some exciting science that will hopefully transform how we understand, diagnostic, treat and prevent TB in the coming years. With the following CORE themes: @UnionConference #TBScience #Unionconf @TBbrigden

10 million cases. 1.5 million deaths. I'm not talking about #covid19. #tuberculosis has not been treated as a true health emergency. The reality is #TB's health impacts are dire. bit.ly/3KHQtsn
PAPER ALERT: Our cost-effective method for single-cell analysis of global DNA methylation is now available online. A project led by PhD student Kooper Hunt @UON_research. Thanks to all contributors including @Dr_Dani007 @MattDun17 @DeVerrills nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

So, there is a new variant Omicron (B.1.1.529) 30AA substitutions, 3 deletions, 1 insertion in the Spike protein Great concern about escaping Spike-specific antibodies! This is important; but what about T cells? They might not protect from infection, but likely from disease: 🧵

Cure from #tuberculosis is not just microbiological. Post-disease sequelae contribute significantly to overall disease burden. @LancetGH thelancet.com/journals/langl…

Have you been asked about the UN Sustainable Development Goals for a grant application? (We're surprised so few funders currently ask this question, and are confident that this will change as the 2030 target grows ever nearer…) #SDGs #GlobalGoals #researchforthegoals #postdoc
My lab is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for studies of the immunobiology of human MAIT cells. If you are a recent PhD focused on the immunobiology of human lymphocytes and find MAIT cells as interesting as we do, there is still time to apply: ki.varbi.com/se/what:job/job…

"#COVID19 vaccine inequity and the failure to come up with a vaccine for #tuberculosis are two sides of the same coin - a devaluation of human life in poor countries," said Prof Guy Marks, President of The Union. Our response to the @WHO Global #TB Report: theunion.org/news/the-union-…
