LSHTM launches new centre of innovation to tackle antimicrobial resistance and tuberculosis

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine’s (LSHTM) research into tackling antimicrobial resistance and tuberculosis has been boosted through a new partnership with Johnson & Johnson.

LSHTM will host the inaugural J&J Center for Global Health Discovery (J&J CGHD). It marks the start of a new network of unique research partnerships between Johnson & Johnson and leading academic institutions to accelerate research into major global health challenges.

The J&J CGHD will advance the critical, early-stage discovery and exploratory science needed to develop potentially lifesaving innovations to address diseases that disproportionately impact the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people.
