World TB Day 2018

On 24 March, the world commemorates the day in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We take this opportunity each year to highlight contemporary research innovation and future challenges in a one-day symposium co-organised by LSHTM and 果冻影院.

For the 2018 event, our audience - in person at the John Snow Lecture Theatre and the hundreds who watched online - heard about a wide variety of studies as well as an impassioned call to action from Nick Herbert MP, who is a key player in preparations for September's UN high-level meeting on TB.听 Another treat was the launch of Public Health England's LTBI public awareness film.

We were also delighted to link up with our friends at UCSF for our very first "super-symposium".听 UCSF streamed our final session in their auditorium before we handed over to them and streamed their talks from while our delegates enjoyed a post-symposium drink.听 For more about the UCSF event, .

We are still accepting your papers for a special collection that we've been putting together with F1000 Research, so please don't hesitate to send those in.听 And if you have any feedback on the 2018 symposium and thoughts for 2019's event, please contact us at tb@ucl.ac.uk.

Recordings of the talks are now available here:
