Description:
CDC's Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD) initiative fosters scientific innovationto transform public health and protect people from disease threats.

Advanced molecular detection (AMD) combines the latest pathogen identification technologies with enhanced capabilities in bioinformatics and advanced epidemiology to be more effective in understanding, preventing, and controlling infectious diseases.

CDC is working with state and local partners to begin incorporating AMD methods into nationwide disease surveillance systems. CDC is helping partners build laboratory and bioinformatics capacity to implement AMD technologies in national networks, improving state and local health departments' ability to detect and respond to outbreaks. These advances will fundamentally change and modernize public health's ability to protect Americans' health.
