Zolon Tech Protégé PCS details CDC NCIRD Bioinformatics contract and what is NEXT

Continuing to dive into the impact and influence of Zolon, an emerging large systems integrator for the Defense, Intel, National Security and Health agencies, we caught up with its protege, PCS, a global provider of a broad range of IT services, to learn more about its work with the NIH’s NCIRD. Knowing the partnerships and relationships can drive and support success, it is valuable to understand both sides of the coin.

Margaret Rohrbaugh, a project manager at Pioneer Corporate Services, discusses her role focusing on bioinformatics support for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). With a robust background in biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology, Margaret facilitates the processing and analysis of large genetic data sets, aiding in public health efforts. Her team collaborates with labs globally, addressing various viruses and bacteria, including RSV and polio, and developing quality control applications. Margaret emphasized the importance of integrating bioinformatics within CDC labs to enhance efficiency and response to emerging health threats.

Topics discussed during the interview include:

• Role of bioinformatics in processing genetic data for public health.
• Support for various viral and bacterial research, including RSV and polio.
• Development of quality control applications for global lab data.
• Efforts to integrate and centralize bioinformatics within CDC labs.
