Incorporating different phenotypes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in drug screening assay

Sadaf Kalsum is a graduate student in the la
b of Maria Lerm\, Linkö\;ping University. This week she is at the Chem
istry department here in Umeå\; to get support with fractionation and
identification of antimycobacterial substances in plant extracts. She wil
l also have time to give a talk to share her latest research and findings
in TB drug discovery and her drug-screening strategy with us. I believe th
is can be interesting both for microbiologists and chemists with a passion
for drug discovery.
The research in the Maria Lerm lab focus on m acrophage responses to mycobacteria. Sadaf will tell us about her research on hyper-virulent bacteria and the macrophage response involving DNA rele ased as 'macrophage extracellular traps'\, METs. Christer Larsson does not know how similar the METs are to the NETs of Constantin Urban\, but I'm s ure that question will come up in the discussion after the presentation.\n

search in support of large-scale health interventions\, mostly in Africa.
Her research focuses on the development of new data\, methodologies and to

as been on vector-borne diseases (e.g. malaria\, onchocerciasis\, visceral
lieshmaniasis etc.) but in recent years has expanded to include \;air
and water-borne infections as well as broader health challenges associate

She is particularly interested in improving institutional and hu
man capacity for incorporating climate information into health planning. T
o help achieve the latter she is working to create a &ldquo\;health and cl
imate&rdquo\; disciplinary interface and a &ldquo\;climate smart&rdquo\; p
ublic health community through the &lsquo\;Climate Information for Public
Health Action (CIPHA)&rsquo\; initiative. She is and has been PI and Co-PI

identification of the \;Simulium damnosum \;vectors of \;Oncho
cerciasis volvulus \;in Sierra Leone (1989). She joined the IRI in May
