A scientist at the University of Georgia is among the recipients of a $2.9 million US Food and Drug Administration grant for TB research. Frederick D. Quinn of the College of Veterinary Medicine hopes to develop an improved diagnostic test for latent TB. While about 9 - 14 million people have active TB disease globally, 2 billion have latent TB infection, Quinn said. The grant will be divided among six researchers, and Quinn’s share is $742,498 over two years.
