Ireland's $11.3 Million Grant Boosts Fight Against TB

Funding for TB Alliance Comes as Growing Threat of Drug Resistant TB
Prompts Calls for Increased Investment in Development of New Drugs

NEW YORK (Oct. 12, 2006) =97 The Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (T=
B
Alliance) announced today that it has received $11.3 million (=809 million)
from the Government of Ireland to further the substantial progress being
made in developing new TB drugs =97 to combat a disease that kills two
million people each year.

The grant comes as world health authorities express mounting concern over
the emerging global health threat of multiple and extremely drug resistant
strains of tuberculosis, against which today's drugs are increasingly
powerless.

The $11.3 million will be used over three years to push forward on a
variety of fronts, including the completion of two global clinical trials
now underway of drugs that could help cut lengthy treatment times by half
in the next few years.
