Biography
Dr. Nye has extensive expertise in clinical microbiology and molecular diagnostics, and leads scientific and operational strategies for infectious disease and other key diagnostic areas at Labcorp.In her role, she oversees the development and implementation of innovative diagnostic technologies, including metagenomics, which involves the use of genomic sequencing to identify and characterize pathogens from clinical samples. This approach is particularly valuable for monitoring emerging infectious disease threats, as it allows for the rapid detection of known and novel pathogens without the need for specific prior knowledge of the organism.Dr. Nye is also deeply involved in establishing partnerships that enhance the monitoring of infectious diseases. These collaborations focus on integrating metagenomic data with public health efforts, enabling more effective surveillance and response strategies during outbreaks. Her work is critical to advancing the field of infectious disease diagnostics, particularly in the context of global health security and pandemic preparedness.
