The Driscoll Lab at West Virginia University uses genomics and bioinformatics to track disease agents and understand how they originate and spread from a One Health perspective. The laboratory processes environmental water samples from wastewater, surface water, and large-scale event wastewater on a statewide basis. The main laboratory is located at the West Virginia University campus, but they also have a mobile laboratory for onsite sample preparation, concentration, and extraction, enabling them to process samples much faster. The lab processes approximately 30 samples per week and is currently testing for SARS-CoV-2, RSV, Flu A, Flu B, and norovirus using both a high-throughput automated system and sequencing.
