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.

This workshop is free of charge and open to any participants interested in this topic.

Responding to the changing COVID-19 situation throughout Europe, the Organizing Committee of the European Meeting on HIV & Hepatitis 2020 has reached the difficult decision to transform this year's event into a completely virtual meeting. In this way, the program will be delivered safely and conveniently. The dates remain the same, 28-30 October 2020.

We are available to answer any questions or concerns that you may have about your participation at the European Meeting on HIV & Hepatitis. For more information, please contact Magdalena Pawlowska at magdalena@vironet.com

The Call for Abstracts for the 6th Global Forum on TB Vaccines is now open. Researchers, product developers, advocates, community representatives, and others interested and engaged in TB vaccine R&D are encouraged to submit abstracts to share new approaches, data, and results in TB vaccine R&D, policy, and access. Submitted abstracts will be considered for oral or poster presentation, and in-person and virtual presentation opportunities will be available. A limited amount of support will be available for in-person (where possible based on restrictions at the time) and virtual participation.
