Grant Activity:
Towards elimination of tuberculosis
Purpose:
The development of new safe and effective vaccines is necessary for the control of tuberculosis, the leading infectious cause of death globally. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), the only licensed tuberculosis vaccine, prevents severe forms of tuberculosis in children, but fails to protect adults. This project aims to further develop a new tuberculosis vaccine, to perform pre-clinical efficacy studies and to increase BCG coverage in vulnerable children in Far North Queensland and Papua New Guinea.
