Centre for Tuberculosis Research
Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world, and the hope is that the new research centre will contribute to better diagnostic methods, vaccines and treatments. The aim of the centre is to improve collaboration between the departments and strengthen the university's position in the field of TB research, both in Sweden and internationally.

A number of research groups at KI have a long-standing commitment in TB research. These groups have very different expertise, ranging from molecular studies to epidemiological, social medicine and global health approaches and are located in at least five different departments at KI. The mission of the centre is to stimulate and facilitate the interactions between TB researchers at KI.
