This is a research grouping that houses members of any academic rank from any University Department who may benefit common equipment and some core facilities. Management is horizontal with subgroup leaders encouraged to develop their own internal, national and international collaborations according to project needs and within the constraints of the research contracts that support them. Major subgroupings are co-ordinated by Graeme Meintjes, Molebogeng Rangaka, and Katalin Wilkinson with support staff flexibly deployed wherever possible. Members may also belong to other research groupings.

The Mycobacterial Immunology Group is also a major part of the larger Clinical Infectious Diseases Research Initiative at the University of Cape Town (www.cidri.uct.ac.za)
