Abstract
“I love clinical work in the US, but my heart is in tuberculosis research in sub-Saharan Africa”, says Nicole Salazar-Austin, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA. It is the quality and originality of her research that saw Salazar-Austin become the 2020 winner of the annual Stephen Lawn TB–HIV Research Leadership Prize for promising work in reducing the disease burden of tuberculosis and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. She is also affiliated with the Johns Hopkins Center for Tuberculosis Research. Although her clinical work in paediatric infectious diseases is limited to about 8 weeks a year, she is in much demand and consults as a tuberculosis expert for Baltimore City Health and Maryland state health departments and for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
