Since 2010, LSHTM has been hosting an annual one-day symposium in March to showcase current TB research, control measures, and policy initiatives while discussing future challenges. The symposium aims to connect with everyone who works on or is affected by TB, including researchers, people in surveillance, control and policy, those in diagnostics and patient care, as well as affected patients and communities. LSHTM has been partnering with the LSHTM TB Centre since 2014 to organize the symposia. In recent years, LSHTM has also collaborated with UCSF for one session, which takes place as the LSHTM symposium ends and theirs begins.
