Albert Einstein College of Medicine — Fluorescent Auxotrophic TB Test

[Scientific Research] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $750,000 over three years to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to support the creation and testing of fluorescent derivatives of auxotrophic strains of tuberculosis bacteria that can be used to assess the efficacy of future vaccine candidates. Dr. William Jacobs will lead the creation of these fluorescent strains and test them for safety and utility in mice. This falls within our focus area of scientific research.
