Welcome​

​

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the world’s top infectious cause of death, affecting over 10 million people each year. Achieving global TB elimination will require new strategies to detect, prevent and treat TB on an unprecedented scale.

 

The NHMRC Centre for Research Excellence in Tuberculosis (TB CRE) vision is to develop the evidence required for a world free of tuberculosis. Our team of researchers from across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region is leading a comprehensive program of research that will help us detect, prevent, and treat tuberculosis in Australia and globally.  

​

Our funding comes from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, philanthropy and leading international research organisations.
