Public Health Grand Rounds: Pathogen Genomics

This week, we highlight the January 21 CDC Grand Rounds entitled: “The Emerging Role of Pathogen Genomics in Public Health”. Join us in person or watch online.
Read our blog post entitled: “Progress in Pathogen Genomics as a Prototype for Precision Public Health". 
Check out our weekly update on pathogen genomics and public health: Advanced Molecular Detection Clips. 

The Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD) Program, established by Congress in 2013, has led the adaptation and deployment of novel laboratory technologies, namely next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics, in the US public health system.  AMD technologies are now in use across the range of infectious diseases of public health importance, such as bacterial foodborne illness, tuberculosis, influenza, malaria and Legionnaires’ Disease. This session of Public Health Grand Rounds will address the rapid advances in AMD, how these technologies are being applied in public health, and their future uses.
