WBE Trainees
Our Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE) trainees are emerging public health professionals gaining hands-on, interdisciplinary experience in using wastewater data to inform community health decision-making. Through applied training in laboratory science, data analysis, and public health practice, trainees work alongside state and university partners to support the New York State Wastewater Surveillance Network, thereby strengthening disease tracking, advancing equitable surveillance systems, and translating complex data into actionable insights for public health agencies and community stakeholders.
