Most of the genes found in fish are also found in humans – and most of the genes that cause disease in fish also cause disease in humans. The human system, which fights off disease, is a lot like the immune system of fish. Ramakrishna's research is focused on tuberculosis in humans – a disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Without treatment, TB can be life threatening. We tend to associate human TB with the lungs, and of course fish don’t have lungs. TB does the lungs but it can affect almost all our organs. In humans, some 40% of TB infection is not in the lungs but in the body. It can be in the brain, bone, kidney, intestine and organs. Fish are affected by a close relative of the human TB bacterium. If we can work out how TB works in fish, and how to it and treat it in fish, then we’re a step to solving a major health problem in humans.
