Hello,
I am Gyeong In Lee, the Director of the Korean Institute of Tuberculosis, affiliated with Korean National Tuberculosis Association.
ince its establishment in 1970, our institute has been designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a TB Supranational Reference Laboratory (SNRL) and a WHO collaborating center, responsible for tuberculosis research, education, training, technical support, and quality control for third countries. We pride ourselves on being the foremost tuberculosis research institution in the Republic of Korea.
Over the past half-century, the Korean Institute of Tuberculosis has focused on tuberculosis research and diagnostic testing, playing a significant role in national tuberculosis management.
In the future, our aim is to achieve national tuberculosis eradication and contribute to public health improvement. Furthermore, we will strive harder to contribute to global tuberculosis eradication efforts. We are committed to once again excelling as a specialized institution in research and development in both tuberculosis and non-tuberculosis fields, as well as in diagnostic testing.
We hope for continued interest and support for the activities of the Korean Institute of Tuberculosis.
Thank you.
Gyeong In Lee Director The Korean Institute of Tuberculosis, affiliated with Korean National Tuberculosis Association
