Cochrane SA Virtual National Symposium 2022 | 22-23 November 2022 

                                    
At a time of information overload when misinformation
and disinformation abound, reliable evidence is more important than ever. An
evidence-informed approach to healthcare is about making personal and
professional decisions focused on the effective use of scarce resources,
avoiding harm and maximising good. 
The Cochrane SA Virtual National Symposium
will explore the state of evidence in the post-truth/COVID-19 world - from
primary research, clinical trial transparency, systematic reviews, evidence
synthesis, guidelines development and policy implementation, all the way to
public understanding of scientific evidence and individual decision-making.

This online event is for researchers, policymakers/ decision-makers, media,
health science students, and community representatives in South Africa.
Registration is free. 
The call for abstracts is currently open and closes on 30
September 2022. More information: click here

Virtual Workshop: Recognition And Control Of Mtb Infected Cells: From Basics To The Clinic | 13 – 14June 2023

The Stop TB Partnership Working Group on New TB Vaccines (WGNV) and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)are co-hosting a workshop on the topic of Recognition and Control of Mtb Infected Cells: From Basics to the Clinic. This workshop is intended to address the need for correlates and to identify platforms that measure recognition or control of the infected cell - especially in humans - as identified in the EDCTP/AIGHD Global Roadmap for Research and Development of New TB Vaccines and the Strategic Framework for New TB Vaccines in the Stop TB Partnership Global Plan to End TB 2023 - 2030. 

The overall goals of this workshop are to: 

  • elucidate the mechanisms by which the immune system recognizes the Mtb-infected cell 
  • explore the degree to which such recognition can lead to control of the intracellular microbe, and 
  • discuss the translational implications of these observations 

The workshop format will be largely discussion-based. Each session will have three short presentations that will provide a high-level overview of key topics within the session theme, followed by a discussion between the session chairs, speakers, and participants.

This workshop is free of charge and open to any participants interested in this topic.
