On 12 November 2024, ERA4TB will host the “TB Drug Regimens Development School: Advanced Preclinical and Translational tools within the Public-Private ERA4TB consortium hub” at The Union World Conference on Lung Health in Bali, Indonesia.
This workshop is open for anyone attending The Union conference who is interested in learning more about tuberculosis (TB) drug development, particularly the innovative tools and techniques being used within early phase TB research from in vitro studies to first-in human trials.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- Model-informed drug development for new drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis – Prof Oscar Della Pasqua from Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
- The in vitro profiling platform within the ERA4TB consortium: novel tools to inform pre-clinical and clinical progression of TB combination therapy – Dr. Santiago Ramón García from University of Zaragoza / ARAID Foundation
- The in vivo profiling platform within the ERA4TB consortium: advanced animal models and biomarker analysis to better predict the efficacy of new anti-mycobacterial compounds – Dr. Christoph Hölscher from Research Center Borstel
- Pathogenesis of tuberculosis in a cynomolgus macaque model: in vivo imaging and immune monitoring to predict disease progression – Dr. Candie Joly from IDMIT (Infectious Diseases Models for Innovative Therapies)
- First Trial in Humans (FTIH) platform within the ERA4TB consortium: FTIH trials developed, new tool and Preclinical development – Dr. Irene García García from Hospital Universitario La Paz- FIBHULP-SERMAS
Attendees will also engage in interactive practical mock exercises to progress novel molecules within combination therapies to encourage participation and discussion.
The workshop will be held between 10.30 -13.00 at the Bali International Convention Centre.
