About Emily MacLean

I completed my MSc in Microbiology & Immunology at McGill, focusing on Leishmania. Currently I'm a doctoral candidate in epidemiology and am focusing on TB diagnostics at the McGill International TB Centre under the supervision of Dr Madhu Pai and Dr Nandini Dendukuri, but I still appreciate those posters with all the cell signalling pathways.

Thanks for the comments! It definitely now does seem like there is an innate component to BCG-mediated immunity. And the recent studies about revaccinating young adults with BCG to boost anti TB immunity are v intriguing. Our point I guess is that from this ecological study alone, it is not possible to know whether it would extend to one particular other disease. Maybe it does! Maybe it doesn't! But we'll know with further research !

This is not a critical comment on the content of our commentary. Rather, it's ageist and sexist and you should delete it.
