ABOUT SUSANNAH M.
I am a PhD scientist with a broad background that includes postdoctoral work in infectious disease, a master’s in public health epidemiology, and international work as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I have expert knowledge of the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes and the devastating outbreaks it can cause. As an EIS officer I was involved in helping tackle Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM), measles, mumps, herpes zoster in immunocompromised patients, and vaccine policy. I am currently working with the Clinical and Environmental Microbiology group at CDC headquarters in Atlanta. We use advanced molecular techniques to help track and contain healthcare-related outbreaks. Specialties: advanced molecular detection, next generation sequencing, infectious disease, epidemiology, immunization/vaccine safety, outbreak/epidemic investigation, microbiology, science communication, grant & proposal writing & design, antibiotics and antimicrobials, pathogenesis, immunology, RNA biology, high-throughput screens, molecular techniques
