Without basic scientific research, we would not have the building blocks we need to come up with new diagnostics, treatments, or preventives.
Using Genomic Analysis to identify mutations and track the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus
The ability to combat the SARS-CoV-2 virus through accelerated advancements in diagnostics, treatment and vaccine development relies on understanding how the virus is transmitted between people and accurately tracking mutations. Whole genome sequencing and subsequent analysis can provide a wealth of data and contribute important insights to this effort.
How Has The COVID-19 Pandemic Impacted Stewardship Efforts and Antibiotic Use?
Diagnostics can play a role in stewardship throughout the pandemic by facilitating a quick diagnosis of COVID-19 and identifying if there is also a bacterial co-infection.
What Steps Can We Take to Help Prevent Future COVID-19 Outbreaks?
Contact tracing is the process of working with an infected patient to help them recall everyone with whom they have had close contact, then, warning the exposed individuals of their potential exposure.
