Wastewater SCAN Research
WastewaterSCAN is committed to transparency and open science. Our researchers publish in scholarly journals regularly to share insights to advance the field of wastewater-based epidemiology. This includes a growing list of more than 22 peer-reviewed papers and preprints based on research involving researchers at Stanford, Emory, and Verily and collaborations with the California Department of Public Health and Santa Clara County, California. We also contribute data to the CDC National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS).
