Global Manufacturing and Access Strategy for a TB Vaccine: MTBVAC

Day 2 (21st October) @ 14:30

Panel: Why Is TB Still Stuck? Applying Respiratory Vaccine Innovation to the Top Infectious Killer

  • How must clinical trial design evolve to support the next generation of respiratory vaccines, and what lessons from RSV, COVID and influenza can be applied to TB to shorten timelines without compromising rigor? 
  • How can new biomarkers and digital diagnostics help us identify high-risk patients earlier and improve trial efficiency for TB and other respiratory pathogens? 
  • TB is often treated as a "neglected" disease. How do we shift the narrative to make TB a core respiratory vaccine priority for global health security and private-sector investment?
