His research focuses on the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) and the impact of public health interventions on redu cing TB morbidity and mortality in high-risk populations. He currently lea ds an Emmy Noether Research Group funded by the German Research Foundation focused on strategies to optimize TB treatment outcomes. His other projec ts include modelling to estimate the population-level impact of the Gates Foundation R&D portfolio for TB and health-economic evaluations of novel T B diagnostics. His group also contributes to the global TB screening inves tment case initiated by the WHO.\n\nTitle: Optimizing tuberculosis treatme nt outcomes beyond new drugs: a causal modelling framework for real-world impact\n\nSummary: This talk will address the persistent gap between tuber culosis (TB) treatment outcomes among participants of drug trials and indi viduals receiving routine TB care. It will introduce OpTBtreat\, a six-yea r fellowship project funded by the German Research Foundation that aims to generate new insights into key drivers and mechanisms of poor treatment o utcomes\, and to integrate this knowledge into a modelling and health-econ omic framework to enable prioritization and systematic assessment of tools and strategies. The talk will highlight early progress and discuss how th is work can inform more effective\, individualized\, and scalable interven tions to improve health outcomes among TB patients globally.\n\nYou can jo in the session virtually using this link or meeting ID: 825 5213 8895 with  passcode: TBFacts\n DTSTART:20260515T160000Z DTEND:20260515T170000Z SUMMARY:TB Seminar –Dr. Florian Marx URL:/sociology/channels/event/tb-seminar-dr-florian-ma rx-372845 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
