Emerging Pathogens in Southeast Asia
Monday, Feb. 13, 5-6pm R103
Anne Peruski, MPH(c) speaks about the 6 years she spent living and working to prevent infectious diseases in Southeast Asia. The focus of her work was to improve infectious disease surveillance and strengthening the regions ability to rapidly detect and respond to emerging pathogens. In order to determine where and how best to increase laboratory capacity in Southeast Asia three areas need focus – laboratory assessment and then based on the assessment develop technical advice, diagnostic training programs, foster collaborative ties between surveillance activities and laboratories, and pair labs with funding partners.
