SSHIFTB
Bio Sketch
The Social Science & Health Innovation for Tuberculosis (SSHIFTB) is a virtual centre focused on social science research and innovation to address the global TB epidemic.
The mission of the centre is to connect critical and applied social science TB scholars, trainees, and advocates from a range of disciplines, institutions, and settings, all around the world. The centre will stimulate new thinking around practices and interventions to address the social and sociomedical aspects of TB.
The hope is that the SSHIFTTB virtual centre will increase coordination and collaboration as well as reduce duplication of efforts. By leveraging the virtual space, we hope to include researches from all around the world.
