research doctor, PhD candidate 👩🏻‍⚕️ happiest in the Karoo 🌿 LSHTM/Chevening alum, UCT Fogarty HATTP fellow. Mostly thinking about TB.
Grateful to have had the chance to put together an #IJID review paper on all things HIV-TB for #WorldTBDay 2025. It was written before the attacks on science in general, and on those living with HIV/TB in particular (1/n)

Several years ago I worked on a HHC study, with a team of very smart people in the field of Asymptomatic TB. Excited to now share the first paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39692469/ 🤓 Diagnostic accuracy of Chest X-ray CAD Software for Detection of Prevalent and Incident TB in Household Contacts

While I might be biased on the topic choice, this was one of the most interesting panels I've heard - on the practical aspects (both opportunities and barriers) of TB diagnostic innovation from within Africa. Finally a 'Wanel' from the Global South 🎉

So grateful for the chance to attend this incredible event in the TB diagnostics calendar, but on African soil 🇿🇦 Big reminder today that we have so many exciting TB tools available to us already, we just need to put them to better use - to find the patients that *we* are missing
