There has been a revolution in science & technology going on; it has changed our lives in countless ways and is also revolutionizing the way we see infectious diseases. The science of genomics brings brand new ways to prevent disease for the whole world. The way we solve outbreaks, for ancient and new diseases, hadn’t changed in a very long time. Now, genomics gives HD views of the blueprint of life, revealing the secrets of diseases, changing the world. Celine Nadon (PhD) is a scientist and public servant. She first developed an interest in infectious diseases transmitted by food and water during her studies at the University of Manitoba, earning Bachelor and Master of Science degrees. This interest led her to Cornell University (New York), where she obtained her doctorate in 2003, studying microbes like Listeria (a notorious disease-causing bacteria), and learning epidemiology, the study of how diseases are transmitted through the world’s populations.
She’s currently the Chief of Enteric Diseases Surveillance, Outbreak Detection and Response at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory, leading national surveillance programs for infectious diseases transmitted by food and water, and her laboratory continuously monitors for and investigates outbreaks of foodborne disease using cutting edge technology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
