“Such programs could become a new line of defense against both natural- and man-made health threats.” Great coverage on our program with @CDCgov and @Ginkgo time.com/6225417/airpor…

Expanding Biosecurity Frontiers: @Ginkgo Bioworks, @CDCgov, and @XpresCheck Amplify Genomic Surveillance at US Airports: synbiobeta.com/read/expanding… #biosecurity

@bigideaportugal @Ginkgo We are proud to partner with @XpresCheck and @CDCtravel on the TGS program, which operates at airports across the US. You can learn more about that program here: wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/tr…

We're celebrating! 🥳 Concentric is the 3rd largest industry contributor for US submissions to GISAID this month, as part of the CDC's TGS program! Thanks to our partners @CDCtravel @XpresCheck we're working to build biosecurity infrastructure. Learn more: wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/tr…

Go @jrkelly and @Ginkgo!!! 💪💪 was excited to see this testing welcoming international visitors right outside customs in @flySFO

CDC expands testing of international air traveler samples to include flu RSV, and other respiratory viruses. cdc.gov/media/releases…

The CDC's expanded disease surveillance program is “a really smart way” to look for new pathogens reaching the United States through international travel. sciencenews.org/article/cdc-ex…

Our voluntary Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance program is expanding to detect more priority pathogens—including Flu, RSV and COVID-19. Learn more bit.ly/3QKBbsq

As we first reported last month @CDCtravel has now officially announced expansion of its airport testing program, beyond SARS-CoV-2,. to a months-long pilot that will also sequence for "flu, RSV, and select other respiratory viruses" cdc.gov/media/releases…

Productive meetings Friday in Seattle with @WaHealthSec, @WADeptHealth and local health leaders. We talked data, partnerships, building trust + clear communications. Keep up the great work.

We are excited to continue our partnership with XWELL @XpresCheck on the @cdctravel’s Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance program. TGS is an important pathogen monitoring detection system at major US airports globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

"But even though the U.S. now has less robust COVID-19 data collection, one important but little-known source remains: samples from international passengers flying into the U.S." time.com/6286825/covid-…

Since the COVID-19 public health emergency ended, our airport program with @cdctravel and @XpresCheck is one of the last standing ways to monitor for new variants entering the US. Read more from @AliceParkNY via @time time.com/6286825/covid-…

Beyond @flySFO and COVID-19 @CDCtravel's wastewater testing from planes, with @Ginkgo and @XpresCheck, now plans to "be integrating multi-pathogen targets" "expand to 2 to 3 new airports in the coming year" #from-a-cdc-meeting-with-testing-laboratories-on-may-15" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/tinalexander/n…

ICYMI: Here's an inside look at Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance, a program for detecting and characterizing viral variants at 7 of the busiest international airports in the U.S. @cdcgov & @XpresCheck youtube.com/watch?v=-sFEgt…

81% of the 80 flights tested were positive for #SARSCoV2! 27 genome sequences from 25 of the samples revealed omicron sublineages. Great proof of concept from @ginkgo, @CDC, & @XpresCheck on wastewater monitoring feasibility. @arstechnica @BethMarieMole bit.ly/3EL3T5Y

“These findings provide important real-world evidence supporting the effectiveness of predeparture testing that can guide decisions for future outbreaks and pandemics.” cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

Our work with the @CDCgov and @concentricbygbw team has been an effective tool in detecting the spread of disease through air travel. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

With @CDCgov & @XpresCheck, we monitored SARS-CoV-2 via aircraft #wastewater from 88 flights to @JFKairport from UK, NL & France. Testing added only 3 minutes to aircraft maintenance time, showing an efficient approach to pathogen detection! concentricbyginkgo.com/new-investigat…
