🚨 The first human H5N1 HPAI 🦠cases in Wyoming. The individual has been hospitalized, making them the third in the US to be positive and need hospitalization. This is not great news when the least populated state has a human H5N1 case. NGS 🧪 results are pending.

It's with great sadness that we share that APHL’s global health program had to stop work temporarily. Our colleagues are like family, and we are grateful for their dedication over many years. Taking time to process this news is natural; we will then resume our work to protect the public’s health.

Excited to share a successful stakeholder meeting in Ndola, Zambia! 🌍 planning to pilot the Illumina Deeplex kit to tackle drug-resistant TB. A huge step forward in diagnostics and AMR response thanks to incredible local and global collaboration! 🧬 #CDCGlobalHealth #TB @aphl.org #TDRC #UTH #NTLP

Let’s go Buffalo! So great to be able to see Josh play at Uwyo during grad school. It has been amazing to watch what he (and other) have been able to bring this franchise back! 🦬❤️💙
