Toward TB elimination: a contemporary perspective on epidemiology and diagnostics
Connecting the biology of tuberculosis transmission and disease with epidemiological data is essential for understanding the current threat to global health and for shifting diagnostics and surveillance toward quicker, more accurate molecular methods. In this third CoScience Chapter, we bring into sharp focus what’s needed to achieve the World Health Organization’s goal of permanently ending tuberculosis.

Master lecture
“Tuberculosis today – from transmission dynamics to modern diagnostics.”
Is tuberculosis a disease of the past? In this Master Lecture, Prof. Cirillo challenges traditional ideas with an in-depth exploration of TB’s global trends, regional differences, and new perspectives. She also provides a comprehensive overview of how TB diagnostics has evolved, emphasizing the critical role of modern techniques in guiding surveillance, clinical decisions, and antimicrobial resistance control.

“Redefining TB diagnosis: standardized workflows and non‑invasive collection”
TB diagnosis is shifting toward faster, safer, and more accessible methods. Combining standardized sputum processing with non-invasive tongue swab screening enhances sensitivity, efficiency, and quality: discover from Cristiano Sabelli and Giulia Mozzoni how Copan’s MycoTB and FLOQSwabs support reliable detection across culture and molecular platforms, helping close the global TB detection gap and improve public health impact.
White paper
“Advancing Tuberculosis Diagnosis: From Conventional Sample Processing to Non-Invasive Tongue Swab Strategies”
The White Paper by Copan’s Scientific Affairs Director, Cristiano Sabelli, examines the evolution of tuberculosis diagnostics, from standardized sputum processing to WHO-endorsed non-invasive tongue swabbing strategies. It provides an evidence-based overview of how new technologies expand global access to TB diagnosis, enhance sensitivity in specific populations, and support robust surveillance in both clinical and community settings.
