Join the UNITE4TB Young Investigators Group: Call for Members 2025

UNITE4TB is a public-private partnership with representation from academic institutions, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), public organizations, and pharmaceutical companies, that aims to set a new standard for anti-TB regimen development, by upgrading current clinical trial methodology and enhancing the efficiency with which new regimes are delivered.

Over the course of 7 years (2021-2028), the consortium will be active in approximately 40 trial sites on four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa and South America), with the goal of delivering novel phase 2 clinical trials that will accelerate the development of new TB drugs and regimens.

More information on the past year and the activities developed can be found in the UNITE4TB newsroom.
