Organization Description:
TBNET is a network of mostly European, research oriented clinicians, microbiologists, mycobacteriologists and epidemiologists interested in the field of tuberculosis and mycobacterial diseases. It was founded in 2006 by a self-organised group of pulmunologists, epedemiologists and specialists in infectous dieseases in Copenhagen.

The goal of the TBNET is to promote clinically oriented research in the field of tuberculosis in Europe by sharing and developing ideas and research protocols among the members of the network. These goals have been approached by the conduction of observational cohort studies. In the future, a clinical database will be established and cohort studies as well as prospective clinical trials will be performed.

Please tell us how your organization will contribute to the Global Plan to Stop TB by briefly describing its involvement in any of the areas of work listed below:

Drug-Resistant TB:
Within the TB-PANNET TBNET operates a large prospective M/XDR TB multicenter database including patient information from 22 European Centers. For further information: http://www.tbpannet.org/

New Diagnostics:
TBNET is developing and evaluating novel diagnostics methods for the identification of individuals at risk for the development of tuberculosis and for the diagnosis of AFB- smear negative tuberculosis. Ongoing projects and publications related to new diagnostics of tuberculosis can be found on the TBNET website.

New TB Drugs:
TBNET has established clinical trial sites for the evaluation of new anti tuberculosis drugs across Europe and is in contact with industry partners for the evaluation of new drugs.

Fundamental Research:
Fundamental research projects are being performed at specific TBNET colaborating sites e.g. on topics of immunopathogenics tuberculosis.

Research:
Three large diagnostics studies involving several thousand individuals from multiple European centers are currently under way to investigate the predictive value of IGRAs for the development of tuberculosis.
The TBNET-MDR TB database will allow operational research on questions related to risks therapies and outcomes in drug resistance tuberculosis.
