At this webinar hosted by Wiley, learn how high-throughput genomic surveillance has emerged as a critical tool for infectious disease monitoring and outbreak response.

This session reviews the impact of emerging technologies, such as pathogen genomics and metagenomics, on the historical uses of molecular epidemiology for clinical and public health laboratories.

Drs. Carleton, Chow, and MacCannell discuss their new chapter for the ASM’s Manual of Clinical Microbiology, which was just published in ClinMicroNow and includes several crucial updates for your laboratory.

In this webinar, you will:

• Receive an overview of the applications and strategies for molecular epidemiology and the impact of high-throughput genomics

• Appreciate laboratory, bioinformatic, and epidemiologic challenges

• Learn specific examples of molecular epidemiology in routine public health use, including PulseNet for enteric bacterial pathogens, the multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen Candida auris, and large-scale viral surveillance programs, including the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic response.
