TB Alliance Website

We are excited to announce the launch of the new TB Alliance website: http://www.tballiance.org/

Tuberculosis, or TB, kills nearly 2 million people each year. The TB Alliance is a not-for-profit organization with the mission of finding better, faster-acting, affordable drugs to fight TB. In an effort to provide a comprehensive overview of TB, clearly illustrate the extent of the global pandemic and highlight the TB Alliance’s efforts, our website now includes (among other features):

· An in-depth analysis of the challenges facing the TB epidemic, including inadequate treatments, HIV-TB co-infection, multi-drug resistant and extremely-drug resistant TB, and the economic impact of the disease

· A detailed synopsis of the TB Alliance’s ongoing efforts to advance the development of new tools to fight TB with information on the organization’s global partnerships, drug pipeline and mission

· A new section on regimen development, a novel clinical development paradigm that can speed the development of novel drug combinations in a fraction of the time

· A “Voices of TB” section that includes video perspectives from those on all sides of the fight against TB

· An expanded newscenter with current TB and TB Alliance coverage as well as fact sheets and other media materials that detail information on the global pandemic.

Additional updates to the site are in the works.
