Scientific Advisory Board
SPRINT-TB is guided by its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), which convenes once a year to assess how the programme is progressing, confirm that its work stays aligned with the programme mission, make decisions on phase transitions, and set priorities for how funding is allocated.
Board Members
Professor Brian Angus — University of Oxford, UK
Prof. Angus leads the Oxford Centre for Clinical Tropical Medicine in the UK. His work has included pharmacokinetics studies of severe malaria and melioidosis in tropical settings, and his present research centres on clinical trials for tropical infectious diseases.
View profileProfessor Sabine Ehrt — Weill Cornell Medical College, USA
Prof. Ehrt is a widely recognised expert on the molecular mechanisms behind M. tuberculosis resistance to host defences and its metabolic adaptation within the host. Her research seeks to identify the mycobacterial genes needed for growth and persistence across the different stages of infection.
View profileProfessor David Sherman — Center for Infectious Diseases Research, USA
Prof. Sherman serves as Tuberculosis BL-3 Director and full Professor at the Center for Infectious Disease Research in the USA. He is a well-established authority in TB molecular research, with interests spanning the virulence and latency of M. tuberculosis as well as TB drug discovery.
