We are working in many parts of the world with government, NGO, and commercial organizations to distribute diagnostic assays to these areas and equip them with trained staff to identify cases early on.

We are also working on Global Health and One Health efforts to better understand threats in different parts of the world to both humans and animals.

A key aspect of infectious disease response is biosurveillance, with the goal of developing effective surveillance, prevention, and operational capabilities to detect and counter infectious disease threats.

Following the Ebola epidemic in 2014-2016, we collaborated with local human and animal health professionals to offer a series of trainings with the goal of enhancing biosurveillance and biosafety and biosecurity (BS&S) in West Africa. These trainings provided them the ideas, policies, and techniques to effectively implement BS&S efforts in the region, improving future response efforts.

In fact, the molecular diagnostics laboratory that we established in Guinea remains in operation, serving as a local public health resource and first line of effective surveillance for the community.
