TB Research

Tuberculosis (TB) research focuses on understanding, preventing, and treating this infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Research efforts aim to develop more effective diagnostics, vaccines, and treatments to combat strains that are resistant to standard medications. Scientists explore the disease’s transmission, immune response, and social factors affecting its spread. The goal is to reduce TB incidence globally, particularly in high-risk populations. Through collaboration among researchers, healthcare providers, and public health organizations, TB research seeks to control and ultimately eliminate this persistent health threat.
