Hi all! I’m Sam Marcellus, MPH and I look forward to serving you all as the Epi Section Chair. I’ve been involved with Texas Public Health for the last five years (I was previously at Iowa Public Health). I spent four years as a bioinformatician at the Texas DSHS Public Health Laboratory in Austin and am now a fully remote bioinformatician and genomic epidemiologist for the Florida Bureau of Public Health Laboratory. My passions are Newborn Screening and Next Generation Sequencing. My partner Doug and I live in Hutto (Go Hippos!) with our four-year-old Labrador mix, Letty.
