Prof. Bryan Bryson speaks with Chris Smith on The Naked Scientists podcast about his efforts to find targets for a new tuberculosis vaccine, as the current version, which is very effective in children, does not sufficiently protect adolescents and adults. “Right now, we only have one TB vaccine that's over 100 years old,” said Bryson. “And for me as an engineer, if somebody tells you there's a 100 year old technology that doesn't work the way that you want it to, you want to say, let's build a better one.”
