TuBerculosis Vaccine Initiative (TBVI), a foundation that aims to develop new vaccines for tuberculosis, today released its annual report 2009.

In 2009 TBVI made significant progress in its overall objective to develop new vaccines for tuberculosis. Preceded by many years of research and development, last year four vaccine candidates moved from discovery phase to early clinical development. Furthermore, TBVI expanded its network with several new research partners and completed the formation of its Board of Trustees.
