TB is the leading infectious killer but scientific breakthroughs could change that. On #WorldTBDay, I spoke with Gates Medical Research Institute CEO Patrice Matchaba about what’s ahead - from the M72 vaccine candidate to new diagnostics & drugs. Continued global collaboration is essential to #EndTB
