What structured response mechanism did Dr. Pardis Sabeti advocate for around 2017/2018?

Genomic Surveillance and Response System for Infectious Disease Outbreaks

Dr. Pardis Sabeti focused heavily on the conceptual framework necessary to operationalize sequencing data for public health benefits. She articulated the need for a structured, comprehensive mechanism, often detailed in presentations around 2017/2018, explicitly termed the 'Genomic Surveillance and Response System for Infectious Disease Outbreaks.' Her emphasis was not just on generating sequence data, but ensuring that health workers possessed integrated information systems capable of using that data to detect emerging threats immediately and track their spread effectively. This perspective addressed the critical gap where sequencing tools existed, but the necessary response pipeline to translate findings into saved lives was underdeveloped or unintegrated.
