About
Anne M. Mikelonis is a leading researcher in environmental microbiology and biosecurity, with a focus on the fate and transport of biological contaminants in outdoor settings. Her work is critical for improving public health preparedness and response to biological threats. Her most-cited study, "Comparison of surface sampling methods for an extended duration outdoor biological contamination study" (2020, 17 citations), provides foundational insights into the efficacy of sampling techniques for detecting biological agents on surfaces over time—a key challenge in decontamination and risk assessment. Mikelonis’s research bridges laboratory science and real-world application, informing protocols for environmental monitoring after intentional or accidental releases. Her contributions are particularly notable for addressing the complexities of outdoor environments, where factors like weather and surface materials affect contamination persistence. Through her rigorous comparative analyses, she has advanced the reliability of surface sampling methods, directly supporting national security and public health agencies. Mikelonis’s work continues to shape best practices in biodefense, making her a vital voice in the field of environmental biosecurity.
