Virtual Workshop: Recognition and Control of Mtb Infected Cells: From Basics to the Clinic | 13 – 14June 2023

                                    
The Stop
TB Partnership Working Group on New TB Vaccines (WGNV) and the National
Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)are
co-hosting a workshop on the topic of Recognition and Control of Mtb
Infected Cells: From Basics to the Clinic. This workshop is 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
are 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 


The workshop format will be largely
discussion-based. Each session will have three short presentations that will
provide a high-level overview of key topics within the session theme, followed
by a discussion between the session chairs, speakers, and participants.
