The urgent need to prioritise tuberculosis basic and translational science led to the establishment of the first stand-alone TBScience programme at the 49th Union World Conference on Lung Health in The Hague.
The event gained momentum at last year’s Union World Conference with the global launch of the results of the Phase IIB of the M72/AS01E tuberculosis (TB) vaccine trial. This year TBScience 2020 was incorporated into the main programme of the virtual conference.
Focusing on TB transmission, infection and disease, with emphasis given to the development of better vaccines, new drugs and diagnostics for TB, TBScience 2020 brought together scientists from microbiology, immunology, molecular biology, pharmacology, epidemiology and mathematical modelling.
