About the Conference

Following a great success of the first edition, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 2nd International Virtual Conference - Frontiers in TB & Mycobacteriology, which will take place online on March 2-3, 2026 organized by Impact Research Communications. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that most often affects the lungs. It spreads through the air when people with TB cough, sneeze or spit. Tuberculosis continues to pose a health challenge causing the loss of millions of lives despite the existence of multiple drugs, for treatment. The emergence of drug-resistant strains has made the situation more complex making it increasingly difficult to fight against this disease. The multidisciplinary most recent research discoveries on Mycobacterium tuberculosis will be covered. In order to encourage collaborations, we want to create a platform that will bring together young, emerging scientists, industry experts, and senior and established researchers. This platform will allow basic scientists who study the biology of Mycobacteria and the pathogenesis of infection to meet together in one location and exchange knowledge. This symposium will cover major research findings related to all aspects of Tuberculosis research and will strive hard to create a platform to bring together senior investigators and emerging scientists to discuss latest research advancements from the field.
The following features of this virtual conference will make it the perfect, economical format:

  1. Cost-Saving: Participate without having to pay for travel and hotel reservations, etc.
  2. Convenience: You can attend from your comfort, from office, lab, or home.
  3. Targeted presentations: These usually take place before to publication and cover the most recent developments in Tuberculosis.
  4. Outstanding Speakers: Take in inspiring instruction, knowledge, and creativity from speakers who are well-known throughout the world.
  5. Facilitates networking by connecting with globally renowned researchers.
