Summary of Meeting
Tuberculosis kills 2 million people per year worldwide. Although great strides have been made in the past decade in understanding Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the complexity of the disease necessitates a multi-pronged approach. Translating insights related to host-pathogen interplay and bacterial physiology into treatments is complex, requiring academics and industrial scientists to come together in new and creative ways. In humans the infection is persistent and chronic, yet reactivates into fulminating progressive disease. This, and the shortage of appropriate animal models, form major obstacles to identifying factors that determine disease progression and the extensive pathology associated with transmission. This meeting will focus on basic mechanisms of pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and how the balance of control of infection within the granuloma is influenced by host and bacterial factors. We will also focus on translating basic mechanistic findings to the development of therapies, and a workshop highlighting academic-industrial partnerships is planned.

2:30 - 4:30 PM Workshop on TB Drug Discovery: Connecting Academia and Industry
Summary: In this 2 hour workshop gaps in TB drug discovery and issues around Academia-Industry collaborations will be discussed. This will be done in the format of a podium discussion with audience participation. 12 representatives from academia, industry, the TB Alliance and the Gates Foundation will form the podium discussion group . After a short introduction by Thomas Dick (Novartis), Koen Andries (Tibotec) will briefly address one of the major questions in TB drug discovery, namely the approach issue ‘target-vs-cell-based screens’. Chris Earl (Bio Ventures for Global Health) will talk about biotech solutions for neglected disease. Jose Garcia-Bustos (GSK) and Tanjore Balganesh (Astrazeneca) will present a few slides on ‘Views from Industry’ to highlight issues and gaps from the industry side. After that, Clif Barry (NIH) and Jim Sacchettini (Texas A&M) will present a few slides on ‘Views from Academia’. Each short presentation is expected to raise key issues and questions in order to stimulate / guide the discussion.
