This Project Grant award of $128,655, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research conducted by Dr. Alexander Sundermann at the University of Pittsburgh. The goal of the research is to enhance surveillance methods for genomic epidemiology in healthcare settings, with a focus on identifying and controlling healthcare-associated infection (HAI) transmission. Specifically, the project will test the hypothesis that combining real-time whole genome sequencing (WGS) surveillance of clinical isolates with targeted environmental surveillance cultures can improve the detection and control of HAI outbreaks. Additionally, the project aims to develop a risk prediction model to guide targeted interventions and proactively prevent HAI transmission. The award will facilitate Dr. Sundermann's development in advanced genomic, bioinformatic, and biostatistical techniques, as well as applied healthcare epidemiology, to transform current reactive approaches into proactive infection control strategies.
