Across the globe, tuberculosis kills one person every 20 seconds. ISB’s Baliga Lab has been studying Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) – the evasive pathogen responsible for tuberculosis – for more than a decade. In newly published research, Baliga Lab scientists discovered a key network within Mtb that allows it to evade treatment.
In our next Research Roundtable, Senior Research Scientist Dr. Eliza Peterson and ISB Professor Dr. Nitin Baliga will detail these findings, their efforts to develop drugs to target and inhibit Mtb’s ability to “hide,” and the potential ramifications of this important breakthrough.
ISB's Research Roundtable is a virtual series that is free and open to all. These events are designed for everyone and provide opportunities to ask questions directly to our scientists.
