Extremely proud of my PhD student Ismaila, for passing his viva at LSHTM, with only minor corrections. He is dedicated, hard-working and I know will have a brilliant career. Luckily he joins us as a post-doc for the near future. Congratulations Dr Manneh. So well deserved!

Chest Xray interpretation with AI algorithms for TB detection in children is promising. But the need to improve performance in this unique population can not be overstated.

Our new paper in @PedPulmonol reveals that children and adolescents still experience reduced lung health even after "successful" #TB treatment. We must prioritise #PostTB care in young people.
