Virology
Viral threat detection and characterization at the speed public health demands.
From novel respiratory pathogens to arboviruses that expand their range each season, viral surveillance and response is continuous and consequential. We support detection, characterization, and genomic analysis of viral pathogens across a wide range of disease categories.
What we provide
Viral pathogen detection and characterization
Molecular, serological, cell-culture, and genomic methods, including real-time PCR, next-generation sequencing, multiplex platforms, immunofluorescence, and neutralization assays, for respiratory, enteric, vector-borne, hemorrhagic fever, and other significant viruses.
Viral genomic surveillance
Whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis that track variant emergence and transmission, with bioinformatics integrated with wet laboratory operations from specimen receipt through reporting.
High-consequence and biosafety-level operations
Experience within the regulatory and operational frameworks that govern enhanced-biosafety virology, relevant to biodefense, reference laboratory, and preparedness programs.
Outbreak and rapid response support
Rapid specimen processing, pathogen detection, strain characterization, and sequencing-based cluster analysis, coordinated with epidemiology teams under urgent reporting timelines.
Viral assay development and validation
Development and validation of detection assays on platforms from real-time PCR and isothermal amplification to antigen formats and sequencing, documented for implementation in accredited laboratories.
Pandemic preparedness and infrastructure support
Surveillance infrastructure, method standardization across laboratory networks, specimen logistics, and rapid scale-up of laboratory capacity for emerging events.
