Enhanced Tuberculosis Education

In a pioneering step towards integrating technology into pharmacy education, students from the Faculty of
Pharmacy at Mansoura National University conducted a virtual reality (VR) simulation focused on Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis) on Saturday, April 6. Supervised by faculty members,
Microbiology department, this initiative aimed to replicate the real-life behavior of tuberculosis bacteria in a
controlled, immersive environment. The simulation allows for in-depth exploration of microbiological interactions
without the health risks associated with traditional lab work. This approach enhances students' practical
understanding, fosters innovation, and provides a cost-effective and safe alternative for scientific
experimentation and disease research.
