The Upper East Side of New York City is a unique place for tuberculosis research due to the density of collaborators in just a few blocks. Our labs have developed close relationships over many years, and enjoy the ability to share resources and ideas with ease.

R: Kyu Rhee, Weill Cornell Medicine
R: Jeremy Rock, Rockefeller University
D: Kathryn Dupnik/Dan Fitzgerald/the Center for Global Health team, Weill Cornell Medicine & GHESKIO
S: Dirk Schnappinger, Weill Cornell Medicine
