5 Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD) 2011: Bioinformatics Blue Ribbon Panel 2014: Advanced Molecular Detection and Response to Infectious Disease Outbreaks (AMD) initiative approved by Congress $30M/yr public health modernization and innovation program Five key objectives of the AMD initiative: 1. Improve pathogen detection and characterization 2. Enable new diagnostic methods to meet public health needs 3. Support genomic and bioinformatics needs in the US public health system 4. Implement enhanced, sustainable, integrated information systems 5. Develop tools for prediction, modeling and early recognition of emerging infectious threats

6 AMD: Areas of Emphasis [1] Advanced laboratory technologies and approaches Coordinate and fund the rollout of new technologies NGS for pathogen (meta)genomics and (meta) transcriptomics. Platforms: Illumina, PacBio, IonTorrent, Oxford Nanopore, others Other tech: MALDI-ToF, Optical Mapping, microfluidics, etc. CDC facilities; state/local public health laboratories. Field. Information technology IT infrastructure: storage, networking, high-performance computing, cloud. Bioinformatics and scientific computing core support; High Performance Computing Center of Excellence Lab/epi data aggregation, integration, visualization and reporting.

7 AMD: Areas of Emphasis [2] Strategic coordination and program support Funding of 30+ CDC AMD project activities/year Establishment of standard platforms, methods and shared resources. Coordination of state-based activities and initiatives. Coordination with federal (FDA, NIH, NIST, DoD, DHS), NGOs, academic centers, int l consortia. Workforce Development Training, recruitment, administrative, fellowships Collaboration, openness, partnerships and innovation.

8 Highest Impact Areas in Near Future Domain Bacterial foodborne pathogens (PulseNet, 85+ labs) Objective Move from PFGE to WGS Address the threat from culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDT) Tuberculosis Move from MIRU/VNTR typing to WGS Develop means of WGS directly from sample Influenza Move from traditional typing of isolates to WGS directly from samples Develop cloud-based information system Hospital-acquired and antimicrobial resistant organisms Develop standards for typing Develop methods for assessing relatedness in outbreaks Develop microbiome disruption index Move GC typing from traditional phenotyping to WGS

9 Foodborne Disease Surveillance ~48 million foodborne illnesses occur in the U.S. each year, resulting in ~128,000 hospital admissions and 3,000 deaths Although most cases occur as part of unrecognized outbreaks, >1,000 outbreaks are reported each year PulseNet, a national network of public health and food regulatory agency laboratories, has played a key role in identifying and stopping outbreaks of foodborne illness Pathogens/foods linked to most foodborne illnesses Campylobacter (poultry) E. coli O157 (ground beef, leafy greens, raw milk) Listeria (deli meats, unpasteurized soft cheeses, produce) Salmonella (eggs, poultry, meat, produce) Vibrio (raw oysters) Norovirus (common in many foods) Toxoplasma (meats)

26 AMD: Challenges [1] Pace of innovation: incredible rate of change in technology platforms and capabilities. Lack of standardization: laboratory and bioinformatic methods for sequencing, data analysis, storage, and exchange remain under active development. Data volume and complexity: new technologies represent an increase of six or more orders of magnitude; integration and management challenges outweigh data transmission and storage issues

27 AMD: Challenges [2] Limited reference databases: need comprehensive and well-curated reference databases for context to understand diversity and pathogenic characteristics of new sequences Barriers to data sharing: how do we facilitate data sharing and open, reproducible research while maintaining necessary controls over proprietary and/or personally-identifiable healthcare info? Need for specialized systems and expertise: bioinformatics and data science are new disciplines in public health; technical and computational complexity of tasks can vary widely; turnkey, deployable solutions are needed to ensure sustainable impact across a public health system with differing levels of capacity and resources. Workforce change.

28 Bioinformatics PH Workforce Capacity Like microbiology and epidemiology, good bioinformatics is increasingly critical to good public health. Challenges with recruitment and retention Skilled bioinformaticians are a highly sought-after discipline. Career bioinformaticians with relevant public health/microbiology experience are an extremely rare breed. It is more common to find microbiologists with on-the-job bioinformatics experience -- expand/enable through training. Limited state/federal workforce support (series, competencies, training ) Training and Workforce Development Interdisciplinary communication is vital: translating between program scientific needs and bioinformatics technical specialists. How do we foster bioinformatics skills/specialists in public health? Expanding impact: Regional Training Networks, FSCoE, curricula and best practices, targeted training for epidemiologists/non-lab.
