MISMS was originally initiated to analyze national and global mortality patterns associated with influenza virus circulation. The focus of MISMS has since expanded to evaluate the interaction between the epidemiology, ecology, and evolutionary dynamics of influenza, including natural selection, reassortment, migration, and antigenic change. Multinational and bilateral collaborations developed by MISMS collect, analyze, and disseminate research findings through scientific publications, training workshops, and communication tools for investigators and decision-makers. Our research findings inform numerous national governments, multilateral organizations, and research stakeholders on interventions for both pandemic and seasonal influenza. To date, data have been acquired from more than 30 countries (representing ~3.2 billion people), resulting in over 100 publications.

National Academies Workshop: Emerging Technologies for Measuring Individual Exposomes
|
Meeting/ Workshop
|
ATSDR, CDC, FDA
|
OD, NICHD, NIEHS
|
This workshop will take a close look at emerging technologies that can be used to gather individual exposure information based upon external and internal measurements. Presentations and discussions will explore which of the technologies are “ready now” and which are still “emerging” for use in environmental health research. Particular attention will be paid to the relative advantages and disadvantages of external and internal measurements for characterizing individual exposomes and for performing EWAS (Environment-Wide Association Study). Exposomes are the measure of total exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to heatlh. Recent proof-of-concept studies will be highlighted and bioinformatic tools will be discussed. This synthesis should inform researchers and policy makers about the critical roles that the exposome concept and new technologies can play in understanding the origins of human diseases.
