Research summary
AI-generated

Justin Greaves studies how to detect infectious diseases by testing wastewater, a technique that monitors community health by measuring pathogens people shed into sewage. Recent work covers a wide range of targets, from COVID-19 and enteric (gut) viruses to Lyme disease, sexually transmitted infections, and dental pathogens, and also examines how viruses survive in water, saliva, and on surfaces. The research is applied and public-health oriented, often focused on small cities and the practical methods needed to scale up surveillance.
