Team

The TB-CAPT consortium is comprised of 14 leading organisations from 8 countries that all work together to achieve a common goal: to improve TB diagnostics and stem the tide of the disease. The group has a vast background and expertise in the design, execution and management of large-scale TB diagnostics trials leading to WHO-endorsements, including data management, analysis and modelling, operational research as well as implementation studies and test rollout.

TB-CAPT is coordinated by FIND, the global alliance for diagnostics, supported by LINQ management GmbH (LINQ).
