Rigid treatments of tuberculosis could lead to the emergence of more drug-resistant tuberculosis instead of less, new study shows.
Cambridge Core has published various articles on country responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. Helsam’s Terje P. Hagen and Bjørn Hofmann give an account of Norway’s response.
Vaccines can be far more targeted and effective than they are today. A new method will allow us to develop new vaccines more cheaply and efficiently and perhaps get one step ahead of bacteria.
Grant applications to the Research Council for spring 2020 are due on May 6. All applicants at Helsam must anchor proposals via department leader, and seek quality assurance of budget via economist.
