Join us on September 16th for a discussion on how innovators and entrepreneurs from around the world are stepping up and sharing their opinions on how to address this public health challenge. A panel of experts, including a TB survivor, will discuss their views on how creative solutions to the challenges being faced by DR-TB patients can be scaled up with the aim to reach those in need. Awardees of Johnson & Johnson’s DR-TB Lifeline Quickfire Challenge will be announced.

Johnson & Johnson Innovation and BARDA selected seven companies from across the global JLABS portfolio as the initial cohort of Blue Knight residents because of their promising work to fill gaps in the current set of available COVID-19 diagnostic, therapeutic, vaccine and other technology potential solutions.
