collaborations in Uganda and Brazil. He has conducted clinical trials on the
prevention and

the
Academic Alliance for AIDS Prevention and Care in Africa, which developed the
Infectious
Diseases Institute at Makerere University, and the founding director of the TB

Infectious Diseases Research (ICIDR) program in Brazil and the TB ? Clinical
Diagnostics
Research Consortium (CDRC). With more than 300 publications on TB, Dr. Ellner has
trained a
number of current academic leaders in infectious diseases.
