School pupils helped develop and test promising new compounds that could improve the effectiveness of existing tuberculosis (TB) treatments as part of a unique research project.
The year-long initiative brought together dozens of students from four County Durham schools.
Supported in part by a grant from The Royal Society, it enabled them to take part in genuine scientific research tackling one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, TB.
