These stories show why strong local capacity stops threats at their source. Colleagues will also cover hemorrhagic fevers, updates on measles in Texas & other timely issues—clear reminders that bugs cross borders faster than we do. #APHL #GlobalHealth #GenomicSurveillance

I’ll highlight the APHL Global Health Team’s work in Thailand & Vietnam:
🔹 A regional genomics hub in Thailand that trains, mentors & links labs across SE Asia.
🔹 A hospital-based model in Vietnam that embeds sequencing in routine care for real-time action.

During this transitional period, I'm focusing on personal reflection and reconnecting with family and well-being. I'm also open to both long- and short-term opportunities where my skill sets, expertise, and experience can help improve health at any scale.

Thank you for your support.

I miss it so much. A road trip staple.

Now that @aphl.org is on BlueSky, I’ll have to tag my awesome organization that gave me the opportunity to do all this important work!

Vietnam: Working with CDC to establish genomic surveillance at Bach Mai Hospital, Hanoi, leveraging existing flu surveillance to detect and respond to outbreaks.

Thailand: Working with CDC to expand Training Center for Excellence in Medical Sciences (TEMs), enhancing training resources for SEA.

Welcome to the light.

Children’s hospitals seem to always go all out for Christmas decorations.
