Amalia Corby, director of Federal Affairs for the American Society for Microbiology, asked HHS to prioritize a One Health approach and improve interagency coordination, saying federal leadership has shaped past advances but more is needed on data standards, repositories and translational pipelines.
Multiple council members—Susan Huang, Padmini Srikantiah, Lynn Marks and others—noted gaps in definitions (healthy vs. unhealthy microbiome), diagnostic intended uses, and diagnostic standardization; several urged PACCARB to recommend concrete steps to federal partners for harmonized measurement, data sharing and a roadmap to guide investment and implementation.
