Description
In honor of World TB Day 2024, we're re-releasing our three-part series from last year on the status of tuberculosis diagnostics worldwide.
For World TB Day 2024, the World Health Organization updated their new recommendations and their TB sequencing portal. Our guest Morten Ruhwald also wrote this press release on behalf of FIND.
These episodes originally premiered on March 3rd, 2023.
In a special 3-part season premiere, Halteres Presents is spotlighting tuberculosis diagnostics worldwide, and where things stand in the field today. In Part One, Rich Thayer and Mickey Urdea are interviewing Dr. Morten Ruhwald, who leads the TB Programme at FIND in Geneva, Switzerland. He trained as a medical doctor at Copenhagen University Hospitals, Denmark and obtained his PhD in TB Immunology at Copenhagen University. Prior to joining FIND, Morten served as CMO and Head of Human Immunology at Statens Serum Institute of Denmark, overseeing the clinical development of the TB and chlamydia vaccine programs. Morten's research interests include molecular and immunoassay development for TB and TBI diagnostics, non-sputum-based diagnostic approaches, biomarkers, digital tools, and personalized medicine in TB.
