In "A Vaccine for Leprosy?", Dr Khushboo Borah and Dr Chyntia Carolina Díaz Acosta discuss the prospects for a vaccine for Leprosy, the disease caused by Mycobacteria Leprae of which there are still over 200,000 new cases of diagnosed every year.
One of the core aims of VALIDATE is to support its members in career progression. To this end, VALIDATE will host an ECR Summer Showcase series of seminars in June and July 2022. VALIDATE Associates will give a 15-minute presentation about their research followed by a Q&A. We hope this will be an excellent opportunity for the presenters to showcase their science to their fellow members worldwide and perhaps even inspire new collaborations.
