And that’s a wrap! #AMDdays2023 is done! Our last day included remarks from Mandy K. Cohen, MD, MPH panel discussions on lab and epi and phl experiences, and hearing from our academic PGCOEs. A great conference with amazing scientists and people! Thanks APHL and CDC Advanced Molecular Detection for everything!

APHL joined over 100 other public health orgs to oppose cuts to the Prevention & Public Health Fund. Now is the time to invest in public health and prevention, not slash what's already underfunded. Read the full letter: tfah.org/wp-content/upl…

Public Health Laboratory Appreciation Month has officially come to a close but our gratitude for public health laboratory workers and their efforts is year-round! We greatly appreciate everyone's involvement in celebrating all that you do! #ThanksPHLabs

Rapid growth of workforce, greater skill diversity, expanded cloud computing, moving beyond COVID sequencing, increased sequencing - some of the AMD success stories here the Midwest AMD symposium. Thanks Michigan for hosting! CDC Advanced Molecular Detection APHL

Happy Public Health Thank You Day! Today and every day, we recognize the public health professionals who dedicate their work to keeping us all safe and healthy! Watch our video of gratitude and add your own thank you notes below. #PHTYD

Happy Public Health Thank You day! Public health heroes keep us safe behind the scenes! Thank you for all that you do - it’s an honor to get to work with all of you! APHL #PHTYD

Such a great time with the APHL NGS subcommittee this week! We got to be the first group in the new APHL building (offices not open yet but got to use a common area conference center). Exciting times in AMD - discussions on priorities, metagenomics, LIMS, and so much more!

CDC Emerging Infections’s Office of AMD is seeking a health Scientist (#Bioinformatics) to design and implement bioinformatics tools that support advanced data query and automation of data analysis within a #PublicHealth information system. #Job #Deadline 2/20  usajobs.gov/job/774698600

Great AMD training down in Virginia for laboratorians and epidemiologists this week! Logan Fink and Alex and Emily Smith Curtis Kapsak did a fantastic job with this hybrid training for the mid Atlantic region! CDC Advanced Molecular Detection APHL Theiagen Genomics

Great NGS QI peer to peer visit with Michigan and Florida here in Jacksonville. CDC Advanced Molecular Detection APHL

AMD academy 2024 kicked off today! Looking forward to a week of bioinformatics and discussion of strategies for lab and epi collaboration! Starting off strong with Lee Katz @[email protected] lecture on sequence quality! CDC Advanced Molecular Detection APHL

That’s a wrap! Wonderful time with lab and epis together as we finished up AMD Academy - great conversations and learning for all on bioinformatics, genomic epidemiology, and more! Fun way to spend #LabWeek #thanksPHLabs CDC Advanced Molecular Detection APHL

Dug more deeply into this situation. Seems CDC was on the ball & able to quickly spot a faulty test component being restocked from external mfr, by using their enhanced quality review process. (dare I say, a lesson was really learned from 2020) As steps are taken to prepare

It is awesome to have CDC Advanced Molecular Detection, APHL and CSTE join us with the Central region Epidemiologist and Laboratorians for the AMD training! A success Genomic Epi program really need the seamless communication and collaboration between the two groups.

🚀 Kicking off the 2nd day of #APHL Annual Conference in Milwaukee with an insightful talk by Kelly Oakeson ! 🔬 Exploring the innovative use of Oxford Nanopore for rapid AMR detection at Utah Public Health Lab. Can NGS beat PCR for AMR detection? #PublicHealth #Genomics #NGS

Happening now - Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD delivering the keynote lecture at #APHL!

Great lecture today by Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD at #APHL annual conference today!

Congratulations to Kelly Oakeson this years #APHL emerging leader award! Much deserved! Thankful for all of your work and energy into furthering sequencing and bioinformatics here in public health! #sequenceallthethings
