The R2D2 TB Network Biobank serves as a global repository of samples obtained from people in high TB-burden countries exhibiting symptoms suggestive of TB (like cough lasting ≥2 weeks) or risk factors for TB (such as HIV). Our biobank offers diagnostic developers the opportunity to access well-characterized samples for pre-clinical investigations and assay refinement, at zero cost. Encompassing diverse age groups, demographics, and high-risk populations such as those with HIV and diabetes, our repository offers invaluable geographical and population diversity. Each sample is meticulously collected following stringent protocols in controlled study settings, ensuring high quality and reliability.
