Thanks for sharing this with me. I just want to note here that there is an immunologist in the Netherlands who does a bunch of TB research who is named Simone A. Joosten who is not me. Just in case you are mistaking our identity and your post didn't get to the exact person you are looking for. 🙏

Oh I see now, Thrive is Lidia's group. Lidia was a collaborator on this paper but otherwise the wider Thrive group wasn't involved.

All affiliations and funding sources are listed in the paper. Essentially funded through MRFF and VicGov.

I don't know who Thrive is but they were not involved in this study. Cheers!

Thanks Sue J. This is my study (I am the senior author) and it is a Monash University - School of Clinical Sciences study. We performed this research in collaboration with VicGov Dept of Health, Melbourne University, Burnett Institute, Defense Sciences and other collaborators.

Thanks for sharing our paper Satoshi!
