Our framework that informed the @WHO TB & climate change policy brief out now in @LancetRespirMed, exploring the intersections and implications of climate change for the TB epidemic. Key message? TB should be considered a climate-sensitive disease

When fluoroquinolone resistance status is unknown, empirical use of BPaLM (adding moxifloxacin to BPaL) is cost-effective as a replacement for BPaL even with high fluoroquinolone resistance levels!๐ฆ ๐

Are you interested in #TB and have experience in #modelling infectious diseases?
Come join us in the fun, supportive, and world-leading TB Modelling Group at @LSHTM !
We have a 1 year Research Fellow position (with possible extension)
Closing date of 30 May 2025 ๐

Subclinical tuberculosis is ~half of prevalent TB, could make people sick and cause transmission
So, it is crucial to understand whether new TB vaccines prevent subclinical TB and what it means for global impact
Find out how more in our new paper in @LancetMicrobe

Great to see this thought piece out! For so many TB drugs DST is still not widely available - to support clinicians, policymakers must provide pragmatic treatment recommendations for situations where resistance profile is unknown. So what should they do?

This week in #KnightGroup, @NaomiMFuller has shared her, Alastair's, and @QuentinLclrc's experience at the recent๐ฆ Epidemics conference in Italy๐ฎ๐น! Interesting discussions on privilege in research and effective peer critique.๐ก๐ง
Who knew a meet up of TB modellers could be so much fun!
Such a wonderful bunch of bright, open and friendly folks, dedicated to ending TB
I'd be willing to bet that some new collaborations were formed.
Thanks to BMGF for funding

Very happy to say a big Croeso (welcome ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ) and congrats to @ckim0509 who has started an MRCLID PhD with @CFMcQuaid and me @LSHTM. Looking forward to some interesting work on modelling empiric regimens for TB!

New #AMR research in @GlobalHealthBMJ makes a case for increasing coverage of existing vaccines and developing new vaccines as an effectives means of reducing the spread of antimicrobial resistance โคต๏ธ

"Increased coverage of existing vaccines and development of new vaccines are effective means to reduce AMR, and this evidence should inform the full value of vaccine assessments." @IsabelFrost19

Over half a million #AMR-associated deaths could be preventable using vaccines, shows new research in @GlobalHealthBMJ ๐
The team from @IVIHeadquarters, @WHO & @LSHTM say their predictions support the need for vaccine scale-up and development ๐ https://t.co/xs5WrTGKqW
