@HarvardHSPH @aerasglobaltb @TheLancet time for fresh perspectives from outside the box because 70 yrs from first Rx’s need something difft
World TB day 6. Reality is that we cannot translate drugs from in vitro to in vivo as fast as in the 1940s-1960s. #Tuberculosis #oddt
World TB Day 7. Over 5 Million molecules tested in in vitro screens in past decade- over 2000 hits- handful go in vivo #tuberculosis #oddt
World TB Day 8. Why either vaccine or small molecule? Both have issues/ failures. Stop the rivalry and collaborate #tuberculosis #oddt
World TB Day 9: Computers have been used extensively elsewhere — why not more use in TB R&D – Models focused on preclin #tuberculosis #ODDT
World TB Day10. If research on #rarediseases can achieve a lot with little funding why not take a leaf from their book #tuberculosis #oddt
