🚨‼️Much gain-of-function research is necessary to fight #tuberculosis

Every year, millions of #tuberculosis cases go undiagnosed.

APOPO’s #HeroRATs use their powerful sense of smell to detect TB faster, cheaper, and more effectively—while creating local jobs.

More cases found. More lives saved. 💙
