How a company tracks virus in OR, US

Duane Graves, a senior scientist for Geosyntec Consultants, has been on the brink of innovation when it s most needed his whole career. He served as a lead civilian scientist for the U.S. Postal Service during the anthrax letter attacks in 2001, and now he s helping communities across the country track COVID-19.
GeoSyntec, an environmental engineering and science company in Knoxville, has done molecular testing of microorganisms in the environment for more than 20 years. When the coronavirus came to the U.S., Graves saw Geosyntec s ability to adapt its technology, which is now being applied in Oak Ridge and other cities.
