The Emerging Threat of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Southern Africa: Global and Local Challenges and Solutions - Summary of a Joint Workshop by the Institute of Medicine and the Academy of Science of South Africa
the pathogen of his choice—Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb.). TB was a natural choice given the reemerging epidemic that was gaining public attention in the early 1990s and Dr. Barry’s increasing interest in global health. Over the next 5 years, his laboratory focused on understanding some of the basic biochemistry of the cell wall of TB, a rich source of potential drug targets. In 1998, Dr. Barry was tenured as chief of the Tuberculosis Research Section (TBRS) and relocated his laboratory to the main campus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Maryland. In addition to his research group at NIH, with more than 30 members focusing on drug and diagnostic development, he has developed an active clinical research program in South Korea, where he has five ongoing trials with more than 700 participants. Dr. Barry’s group contributed to the development of PA-824, a new drug for TB now in Phase II clinical trials, and developed SQ109, another new TB drug now in Phase Ib trials. Dr. Barry is a member of several editorial boards and has authored more than 130 research publications on TB since entering the field. In 2009 he was named by ScienceWatch as the most highly cited researcher working in the field of TB.
