DBMI Professor Featured on THV11 for COVID-19 Wastewater Tracking Work

Dr. David Ussery, DBMI professor and Clinical Informatics Fellowship rotation supervisor, has been featured on Little Rock television news outlet THV11 for his research on detecting COVID-19 in wastewater.

Much of Dr. Ussery’s research involves using the latest genetic sequencing technologies to explore their use in real-time, public health emergencies.

“The benefit for environmental surveillance is the simple fact that COVID-19 can be detected in wastewater five days prior to clinical testing,” Dr. Ussery told THV11.
