IN-TRAC

About IN-TRAC

The Interdisciplinary NexGen TB Research Advancement Center (IN-TRAC) at Texas Biomedical Research Institute aims to attract the next generation of diverse researchers to the tuberculosis (TB) research field, and develop them into independent researchers with multi-disciplinary skills and real-world experience of clinical TB. IN-TRAC aims to produce researchers that choose to work on some of the most challenging and relevant translational problems in the TB field, and that work across academic disciplines and within a framework of highly collaborative research. IN-TRAC’s success will be aided by the mission of Texas Biomed as a global leader in combatting infectious disease threats.

Why is IN-TRAC needed?

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an enduring scourge of our time. Given the factors that support the ongoing transmission of this highly successful human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) (poverty, malnutrition, aging, co-morbidities, drug resistance, etc.) and the fact that the majority of infected individuals are unknowing and thus serve as a potent reservoir, we can anticipate continued suffering and death worldwide due to this pathogen for the foreseeable future.
