Bay Area TB Science (BATS) is a monthly TB talks series and annual symposium hosted by the UC Tuberculosis Research Advancement Center (UC TRAC) and co-sponsored by UCSF Center for Tuberculosis and UC Berkeley Center for Emerging and Neglected Diseases. BATS brings together TB investigators at UCSF, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, Stanford University and the SF Department of Public Health to highlight established and early-stage investigators in the UC TRAC community with the intention to build community and foster collaboration.
