      I have discovered why some children in Africa get tuberculosis (TB) even though they have been given a vaccine against TB. Using this information we should now be able to make new vaccines for TB that are much better at stopping children in Africa from getting TB. We are going to be publishing this work in teh next few months and I’m quite excited about it as it REALLY could help people in Africa in the future
