TB Research Projects
28 April 2025
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has presented three scientific research projects contributing to the fight against TB. The ultimate goal of the three projects, called ERA4TB, TAINT-TB and TCOLF-TC312, is to accelerate the development of new drugs and contribute to the fulfilment of the World Health Organization’s End TB Strategy 2030.
The Global Health Innovative Technology (GHIT) Fund announced an investment of approximately USD 4.5 million for the development of diagnostics for TB. Current TB tests face challenges such as low sensitivity, high costs, complexity, and the need for specialized equipment and sputum samples, making them unsuitable for all patients.
