The conference was a great success! Three intense days full of the newest BCG vaccine research. Presenters generously shared still unpublished findings. Stay tuned - interesting results underway from @FaustmanLab, @nigeltwitt @CarlosMTBVAC @E_v_a_Kaufmann, Netea group and others.

Fantastic new studies on BCG: Tobias Kollmann+Byron Brook+Nelly Amenyogbe showed compelling immunological data that can explain the effect of BCG on sepsis deaths; @FaustmanLab presented that BCG is associated with long-term reductions in hyperglycaemia in diabetes type 1.

A mom brings her daughter's ashes to Sanofi to protest against high prices of insulin. Her daughter, who had type 1 diabetes, died after rationing her insulin. My latest video @statnews. statnews.com/2018/11/27/insu…
