Jana Broadhurst, MD, PhD, DTM&H, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. As a clinical pathologist, microbiologist, and immunologist, she focuses on the development and implementation of infectious disease diagnostic tools for clinical and public health applications. Dr. Broadhurst currently serves as the clinical laboratory director for the U.S. Region 7 Special Pathogens Treatment Center as well as the Emerging Pathogens Laboratory, a diagnostic and research laboratory that supports novel assay development and clinical research for emerging and high-consequence infectious diseases. Applying novel technology to solve patient- and community-centered challenges in infectious disease case management is a central theme of Dr. Broadhurst’s work. She strives to keep use cases and implementation strategies at the heart of her research and service endeavors. She gained critical field experience as the diagnostics lead for the Partners In Health Ebola Response Team during the West Africa Ebola epidemic, and then as an international mentor for the American Society of Microbiology. In each of these roles – whether performing as a clinical microbiologist, researcher, or public health responder – she has been committed to developing and translating novel technologies into effective tools for underserved communities facing both pervasive and emerging infectious disease threats. Dr. Broadhurst received a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Oregon, a doctor of medicine and doctor of philosophy (biomedical sciences) from the University of California San Francisco, completed her clinical pathology residency and medical microbiology fellowship at Stanford University and received a diploma in tropical medicine and hygiene from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
