Research Interests: Dr. Nadon’s laboratory is focused on the design and delivery of national and international laboratory-based surveillance and outbreak response for enteric diseases, including Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella, Campylobacter, Listeria, and Vibrio. Her laboratory is responsible for the operation of PulseNet Canada, the national real-time surveillance system for foodborne disease in Canada that is based exclusively on whole genome sequencing. Her laboratory’s work is centered on the interface between laboratory and epidemiology for optimum delivery of public health. Current activities are focused on these areas: - Genomic epidemiology of current and emerging bacterial enteric pathogens, including V. cholerae - Design and implementation of global surveillance systems using genomics - Utilization and analysis of genomic data for surveillance outside of traditional point source outbreak detection Dr. Nadon is also keenly interested in science literacy and communication; her work also focuses on developing and using effective communications strategies to better engage with colleagues, non-scientists, and the public.
