Burton W. Wilcke, Ph.D.

Associate Professor Emeritus

Burton.Wilcke@uvm.edu

My primary research and scholarship interests center on the roles of laboratories and laboratory systems in support of public health and global health. Most specifically I have focused on laboratory-based surveillance of infectious diseases and the policies and processes that are needed to establish, assess and assure quality laboratory systems in response to regional, national, and global health needs.
