New publication

Our latest paper (the final one from my PhD work) is now published. In “Modelling the effects of environmental heterogeneity within the lung on the tuberculosis life-cycle“, we created a model that incorporates the environmental heterogeneity of conditions such as blood perfusion and oxygen tension within the lung to investigate the effects they had on the whole tuberculosis life-cycle, demonstrating how different parameters affect different stages of infection and show how the environmental differentials can drive post-primary disease (where most transmission occurs) to the oxygen-rich apices of the lung.
