Tuning the immune response in tuberculosis

Summary

  • This study aims to increase our understanding of the parts of the immune system that influence the balance of beneficial and harmful responses to TB infection by studying immune responses of various individuals who have a broad range of severity of TB disease. This will provide opportunities to develop new and more effective treatments and vaccines
  • Currently recruiting at Whittington and Royal Free Hospitals
