An Interview With Dr. Benjamin Bradley: The Central Role of Clinical Laboratories in Controlling Emerging Pathogens
Whenever a new infectious disease enters the scene (or reenters, as in the case of measles), developing precise and accurate diagnostic tests as quickly as possible is critical. In this interview, Dr. Ben Bradley, ARUP medical director of the Institute for Research and Innovation in Infectious Disease Genomic Technologies, High Consequence Pathogen Response, Virology, and Molecular Infectious Diseases, describes various challenges in rapidly setting up and maintaining testing capacity for these kinds of diseases and why we need collaboration between academic, clinical, and public health labs.
