Durban-ite, mom of 3, scientist, ID doc, plant lover, trying hard to understand subclinical / asymptomatic TB at AHRI & UAB 🇿🇦 🇺🇸 #TBsky #IDsky
In the midst of severe threats to our patients, funding
& career prospects, we keep working on TB science bc the problems are important & we are curious & able. Collaborating 🇿🇦🇺🇸 & the trust it requires is an act of resistance and hope. The next generation of scientists is my motivation and hope.

And the first AHRI-SATVI transcriptomic training session has successfully concluded! Grateful for this funding, for the wonderful collaborators & for a team that had fully embraced the goal of population-based multiomics to understand health problems of significance to our community! #scTBio #TBsky

The WHO is the best of us. Cooperation in pursuit of health for all. Last year it was a highlight of my career to be invited to WHO as a technical expert on TB. Now I’m so sad at the US’s recklessness. Let’s turn our outrage into donations & support.

First digital drawing. Plenty of room for improvement during my year of human pursuits…

Rockstar @helgardclaassen.bsky.social at the IMPAcTB consortium at NIH. Grateful that this funding has allowed us to identify > than 100 incident TB cases among #Vukuzazi participants who were TB-negative at baseline. The opportunity to follow up this cohort over 5 years is so cool! #TBsky #IDsky
