Who We Are

​

The Centre of Research Excellence in Tuberculosis on Both Sides of our Border is an interdisciplinary Centre of Research Excellence funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council over 5 years. We support world-class research aimed to improve TB control in Australia and our region through new and existing research initiatives on public health and clinical interventions, epidemiological studies and laboratory science approaches to provide new tools for TB control and prevention.

​

The Centre for Research Excellence in Tuberculosis is a collaborative Centre that brings together numerous research institutes and hospitals with objectives  to:

​

•     Design new strategies to improve global TB control.

•     Develop and test new TB treatment approaches to deliver more effective care.

•     Implement our strategies in communities in Australia and Asia Pacific.

•     Train the next generation of TB researchers and clinicians in  Australia and Asia Pacific.

​

The TB CRE brings together a highly complementary, multidisciplinary team of TB researchers from across Australia, comprised of clinicians and clinical trial specialists, modelers, social scientists, policymakers, program managers, consumer advisors, with early-/mid-career researchers.
