Abstract
Harindra Sathkumara investigated why AIDS and diabetes increase the risk of developing tuberculosis and how new vaccine approaches can be used to fight tuberculosis infection. He found that mucosal delivery of vaccines containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens are safer and confer superior protection against tuberculosis in animal models of AIDS and diabetes.
