Virginia PGCOE

This is the Virginia Pathogen Genomics Center of Excellence (PGCoE) YouTube channel. The Virginia PGCoE addresses key challenges to the expansion of advanced molecular detection methods within Public Health including workforce training, development of standardized protocols for wet lab and bioinformatics, and data infrastructure to store, merge, analyze, and protect patient-linked sequencing data.

The Virginia PGCoE is a partnership led by the Virginia Department of General Services (DGS) Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services (DCLS) and includes the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine (SOM) and Biocomplexity Institute (BI), and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). This project is supported by the Office of Advanced Molecular Detection, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through Cooperative Agreement Number CK22-2204.
