TB Alliance to Present Exciting Research Findings at ICAAC 2011

The TB Alliance and its partners will be presenting recent advances in TB research and development at the ICAAC 2011 conference. Posters and presentations will detail results from the first-ever clinical trial of a novel TB regimen, pre-clinical research identifying promising future regimens, and progress on the development of an exciting new class of anti-TB compounds.
A full schedule of TB Alliance presentations is below. Biographies and pictures of presenters can be viewed by clicking on their names.
