NIEHS Acting Deputy Director Gwen Collman, Ph.D., outlined a few new considerations that have arisen in recent years. For example, although communicable diseases have been plaguing society for hundreds of years, exposure to environmental chemicals has grown with industrialization, compounding the risks already posed by infectious agents. “We know t...
Advances in technology made it possible for scientists to create the vaccines necessary to lessen the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic. But early on, technology failed to swiftly detect new cases and outbreaks, allowing SARS-CoV-2 to spread out of control. “In a pandemic situation, we cannot rely on event-based surveillance, where we are diagnosing in...
