Matthew Washam's work focuses on pediatric infection prevention and control, including hospital-acquired infections, vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks (especially measles), and antimicrobial/diagnostic testing in children. Much of the research draws on real-world outbreak investigations and hospital surveillance data, such as the 2022-2023 central Ohio measles outbreak and neonatal intensive care unit infection risks. This work is applied and clinically oriented, aimed at improving hospital and community infection-control practices for pediatric patients.
