Tuberculosis: An Introduction for Medicinal Chemists

June 29, 2017 @ 2-3pm ET
Session 6 of the 2017 Drug Design and Delivery Symposium

Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death from an infectious disease and a leading example of antimicrobial resistance. Carl Nathan of Weill Cornell Medicine will review the biology that frames the problem, the innovation gap that exacerbates it and the new work that qualifies TB drug discovery as an innovation engine.
