VIRTUAL WORKSHOP

Recognition and Control of Mtb Infected Cells:
From Basics to the Clinic

On June 13 - 14, 2023 the Working Group on New TB Vaccines (WGNV) and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) co-hosted a workshop on Recognition of Mtb-Infected Cells: From Basics to the Clinic. This workshop was intended to address the need for correlates and to identify platforms that measure recognition or control of the infected cell - especially in humans - as identified in the EDCTP/AIGHD Global Roadmap for Research and Development of New TB Vaccines and the Strategic Framework for New TB Vaccines in the Stop TB Partnership Global Plan to End TB 2023 - 2030.

The overall goals of this workshop were to:

  • Elucidate the mechanisms by which the immune system recognizes the Mtb-infected cell
  • Explore the degree to which such recognition can lead to control of the intracellular microbe, and
  • Discuss the translational implications of these observations

Each session of this interactive workshop started with three short presentations that provided a high-level overview of key topics within the session theme, followed by a discussion between the session chairs, speakers, and participants.
