Topics
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading infectious causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, a total of 1.3 million people died from TB in 2022.
With 30 partners from 13 countries, UNITE4TB aims to set a new standard for anti-TB regimen development by upgrading the current clinical trial methodology and enhancing the efficiency with which new regimens are delivered. Following an overarching racetrack concept, the goal of the UNITE4TB Consortium is to deliver an efficient global clinical trials network equipped to implement phase 2 trials that conform to the highest regulatory standards.

Topics
The aim of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research's Medical Informatics Initiative is to make data from routine care available digitally, reliably and quickly for medical research. Through IT-supported analyses of this data, research helps to better identify and treat diseases and prevent them as effectively as possible. In the future, information on comparable medical cases or the results of current studies can also be made available to treating doctors. This information can then be used to make the best possible treatment decisions.
